Re: Election 2019, Week 1
 

So what. They don't have to educate themselves. They have a right of a vote, regardless of choice or reason. They don't need to explain why they voted.

Re: Election 2019, Week 1
 

They wouldn't have voted for a particular resulting government and policies.

Re: Election 2019, Week 1
 

It'd have closer policy outcomes to what the majority want, rather than satisfying a minority of the people with a majority Government.

Compromise - I know that notion died in 2016 - would be the result. Either way I'm only pointing out that in the UK FPTP, an unelected House of Lords and an ineffective Head of State leave us some distance from what could be considered democracy.

Re: Election 2019, Week 1
 

Point of order - our head of state is not ineffective. The monarch does her job perfectly well. Electing a head of state to the constitutional and ceremonial role occupied by the monarch wouldn’t do anything to make the role more politically active (which is what you appear to be confusing with effectiveness). To do that we would have to make deep constitutional changes and create an executive presidency after the American or French model. I don’t find that idea especially attractive.

Re: Election 2019, Week 1
 

She literally sat there and had to carry forward illegal advice from a Prime Minister. Totally ineffective in a role that could and should perform an important check and balance against an incompetent executive.

Oh ok......been at the cool aid again. it wasn't deemed illegal when it was said to her and she acted upon it.

It was only deemed "illegal" (and I'm not sure if illegal is the right word, as no law was broken) when the supreme court judged simply that parliament had not been prorougued.

Re: Election 2019, Week 1
 

If you want to be pedantic I don’t care for the distinction between illegal and unlawful.

She was unable to take separate legal advice from that of the a Government hence she was completely ineffective which was my exact point.

Your subservient mind may not be able to see the obvious however many of us can.

Re: Election 2019, Week 1
 

It wasn't illegal but it was unlawful and that wasn't so until the Supreme Court ruled on it so the Queen's actions were perfectly correct at the time of asking. As for ineffective many people have confirmed that the meetings she has with the Prime Minister of the day are anything but comfortable for the incumbent.

Re: Election 2019, Week 1
 

I addressed the illegal/unlawful point earlier - the fact is the Queen couldn’t seek her own legal advice or make her own judgement making her ineffective.

I don’t think the Government are blameless, indeed they deserve most of the blame for that farce.

I think the Queen is far more educated in terms of constitutional matters than most presidents. I would remind you that the legal advice was endorsed by the Attorney General. Why should she not accept it?

The core of the problem was that a biased Speaker who showed clearly that he would do all he could to sabotage Brexit simply manipulated the rules of Parliament and caused a Constitutional crisis.

Fortunately, in the new Parliament we will have a more traditional Speaker whom both sides can respect.

Re: Election 2019, Week 1
 

Illegal: forbidden by law.
Unlawful: not authorised by law.

If you’re going to play lawyers, do try to get your basic facts right. The Supreme Court ruled the advice unlawful, not illegal. There is more than a trivial difference between the two.

---------- Post added at 20:51 ---------- Previous post was at 20:48 ----------

It is not the Queen’s role to seek advice from any other source. Her constitutional role is to receive advice from ministers. That is what ministers are for.

---------- Post added at 22:21 ---------- Previous post was at 22:18 ----------

I feel the point here is that the Head of State should, with appropriate help, be in a position to validate the "advice" received from the Executive. If not, then what value does this individual contribute in terms of Government?

Re: Election 2019, Week 1
 

The Queen is entitled to be consulted and to offer words of advice. Beyond that she contributes little to government, which is as it should be. The wearer of the crown is not elected so should not exercise executive power.

The point of the Crown in our constitution is that it is where power is located. That power cannot be exercised by the person wearing the crown, because they are constitutionally restricted from doing so, and it cannot be appropriated by legislators who must swear allegiance to it as a condition of office. It cannot be taken by revolution because nobody can wear it but the legitimate heir.

Now we could junk all of this and opt for a republic with an executive presidency, with powers delineated by a written constitution, but that is no guarantee of better government or decision making. In fact our own Supreme Court, operating with years of precedent and Acts of Parliament (or lack of, hence “unlawful”, not “illegal” in the case of prorogation), dealt with that issue rather more quickly than the Americans are presently dealing with the potential impeachment of Donald Trump, and all the while the United States has a head of state that is a divisive political figure rather than a symbol of unity.

If we were setting up a country from scratch today, it’s highly unlikely we would create a constitutional monarchy. But the point is, we aren’t creating a country from scratch, we’re living in one whose democracy and institutions have remained stable for longer than just about anywhere else in the world, and much of that sense of stability, continuity and unity is symbolised by the Crown. Asking whether the Queen should involve herself in government more directly appears trivial by comparison.

Re: Election 2019, Week 1

I'm stood on a delayed 1970s overcrowded, overpriced, failed heating train this morning, going nowhere slowly. One of many areas where the private sector has failed us (they of course, are doing quite well out of it !)

The economy isn't working well, and will be worse if those self centered idiots get another 5 years. Borrowing not seen since the 1970s is planned by this Govt., sublime to the ridiculous... Austerity was for nothing, has caused huge uneeded damage and solved nothing.

Re: Election 2019, Week 1
 

This is unlikely. What train was it?

Re: Election 2019, Week 1
 

In this case the distinction is irrelevant. The Prime Minister sought to carry out an action that he was constitutionally unable to do. The outcome: to have that action reversed. Illegal and unlawful are irrelevant to the point. I also at no point said they mean the same thing - I said I didn’t care for the distinction in this instance because it has no bearing on outcome.

I can judge someone ineffective for having no role other than being a passive observer to an unlawful act. Yes, I absolutely can.

Re: Election 2019, Week 1
 

It's a Pacer train in the North if England, and yes it maybe 1980's, but that makes it no better. Its a bus on a track, even the bloody windows leak ! Unlimited money for Crossrail in London though....

Re: Election 2019, Week 1
 

Those old Pacers did it go bumpety bump bump .:D:D as they were supposed to have gone the way of the dodo many years ago.

Re: Election 2019, Week 1
 

Now see, if you’d said “Merseyrail” you’d have had me. They genuinely are running a 1970s fleet, for a few more months anyway. :D

The Pacers are much maligned, and not very comfortable, but they are pretty reliable mechanically and cheap as chips to build and run. Arguably they saved a lot of less well used lines from closure in the 1980s when passenger numbers were in their trough and helped keep the network going. Those lines are busy now, but can only be busy now because of the lifeline your Pacer provided back then. There simply wasn’t the business case to provide anything more luxurious at the time, though I agree more could have been done before now.

It’s interesting, the Barnett Formula means that when a project like Crossrail is approved in London, an amount of money is allocated for spending in Scotland because money is being spent in England, and not because there is a specific project requiring funding. The formula was designed to prevent easier business cases in high population areas like London sucking up government investment, leaving Scotland with its small, dispersed population behind. Yet no such equivalent arrangement exists within England, meaning that each region’s capital projects are all competing for the same pot of money as London, where the business case is always going to be easier to make because of the high density, relatively wealthy population.

Anyway, give your Pacer a pat on the bodyshell this evening - it may be the reason you can catch a train to work at all. And in any case it’ll be finally gone into retirement within 12 months.

Re: Election 2019, Week 1

"Sides with the Palestinians" for a country so obsessed by our own sovereignty our apparent will to deny that to other people is somewhat perplexing.

Re: Election 2019, Week 1
 

I think a two-state solution is the only way to resolve the problem, but unfortunately Arafat and others lost their best chance to achieve that by refusing to drop daft demands that Israel could never possibly agree to, such as the right of return for the descendants of displaced Palestinians. Whatever the rights or wrongs at play, resettling all those people in the land would De facto end the Israeli state from day one.

I do not, however, subscribe to the monstering the State of Israel gets at the hands of the British Left, nor the anti-Semitic abuse British Jews get from the Left when they dare to speak up for Israel as a legitimate state. It is the abuse of those who believe in Israel that is anti Semitic, and sadly far too many of Corbyn’s cheerleaders are engaged in it.

Most, it not all, of this "Islamophobia" is directed at the real, actual actions of Muslims, eg Muslim(ie not Asian) sex gangs. The people doing most to spread "hatred" of Muslims, are Muslims themselves. Just because only x thousand went off to join ISIS, doesn't mean thousands more aren't still in this country that support them. Just look at the polls that expressed support for Bin Laden after 9/11. Just look at the the number of people that went off to join him as a result. Why should there be anything wrong with criticising such behaviour and wider support of that behaviour?

The multicultural idea only works where there is a low number of people in those other cultures. The low numbers force them to mingle a lot more. It's when the numbers increase it becomes viable to separate and close off and have their own community centres etc. The "community" becomes one defined by race/religion, rather than simply people living in a particular area. Just look at the number of race/religion specific "communty" centres that are around you. It's gone from having centres for people living in area X, to ones of people of race/religion Y. How is not racist by having those race/religion specific centres?

We both know “national emergency” relates to the movement or utilisation of Government resources to respond to an event. The National is the level of the response, not the geography affected. With serious risk to life and property across English regions, I’m not sure we should hold back mobilising until it reaches the South East.
