Put it this way... the only reason Parliament has such a big clout over the monarchy is because the people are behind them. Or... were? Which is the point I'm making. If Parliament doesn't represent the people anymore, they lose their power over the monarchy. And certainly, no matter what the Queen would decide, it'd be better than this mess.
If you haven't noticed, this isn't entirely serious. But an interesting trail of tought. Just for funsies.

They could just hand the reins over to the House of Lords - At least as far as Brexit goes they have seemed rather a lot more sensible.
I don't mean to be controversial, but this thread has ticked along nicely for 1000+ pages without heavy-handed moderation.
Would be nice if that could continue.
Or, maybe just delete/shut down politics sub forum?
Blairite cunt.

I hate to break it to you buddy, but you can't represent the majority when you're pro Brexit as you're supporting the minority opinion. This is why your heroes are 100% against any kind of confirmatory referendum, because they still can't believe they fluked the first one on via skewed turnout and know they have no chance in hell of winning a second, especially now opinion has slid so far towards remain.
Actually, once the Tories elect a new leader that leader then has to request permission from the queen to form a new government. It's incredibly unlikely it would happen but the queen would be well within her rights/powers to simply say no (in which case a general election would be called).

Interestingly, despite the mess that is Boris Johnson the Cons are ahead of Lab in the latest Ipsos Mori poll. On the face of it, it would appear that the LDs are gaining votes at the expense of the Lab and that people are beginning to lose interest in BXP.
Westminster Voting Intention:
CON: 26% (+1)
LAB: 24% (-3)
LDM: 22% (+7)
BXP: 12% (-4)
GRN: 8% (-1)
Via IpsosMORI.
Changes w/ 10-14 May.

It will be interesting to see if this is a one off or if a trend is beginning to develop in other polls.

It's extremely telling, though. Were this "traditional" party dynamics with the Tories doing this abysmally Labour shouldn't have an issue.
However, that assumes that Brexit isn't the world's most intricate Idiot Plot and both major parties aren't led by complete fucking knobs.
