No Confidence!

[spring-peeper]

fairy snudff; afaik, your system (in fact all parly systems) is modelled on ours, right down to the utter absurdity of maintaining the fiction that the old german trout on the throne is somehow an important personage

Then, thank you for our system. It's very nice.

sensibly, you've avoided all the bollocks-y bits, AFAIk (silly titles, fancy dress, m'noble lords etc). AFAIK the only bit of Olde Englyshe Pageantry you've got is 'right honorable'

I'll admit the US system is flawed. All systems are flawed.

However, I'm not in favour of trying the change the constitution to add in no confidence votes. You'd have to call a constitutional convention to do that. Once the far right got ahold of the constitution there would be no recognizing it.

constitutional convention?

*ears perk up at new phrase*
*tries to remember to google new phrase when has time*
*logs off U75 and gets project finished*

Well, 2 out of 3 are probably correct :;

apparently, the original one back in 1787 was the mother and father of all piss-ups...

And so it begins...

Just got off the phone from one of the politically wanna-be, the conservative version.

Told him off for wasting my tax dollars with this non-sense and told him I would be a Liberal until the day I die. Told him this was also true of my husband and the two children that are of voting age. Asked him to remove our name from his list.

Told him that he was really lucky he got me and not hubby - I'm the nice and polite one

What sucks for us is that we have had the same MP for 20-30 years and he was excellent - always stood up for us rural peoples. I'll really miss him - one of the few honest ones, imo.

Let's be 'avin' it then! A constitutional convention that is...leave the firearms at the door.
