Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

The point is that the PM can go to war against the wishes of the HoC.

The other interesting thing is the ability of the PM to make treaties, which includes breaking them. This meas that the PM can invoke Article 50 by himself should Parliament vote against leaving the EU.

There was a Bill in 2010 to make these powers subject to Parliament, but the Queen declined to sign it on the advice of her government.

Anyone else here having trouble with Adv fn free bulletin board this afternoon? I can only see posts prior to midnight last night. It was ok this morning.

The fixed term Parliament act of 2011 changed the procedures for calling for an election before the end of the 5 year term.

Section 2 of the Act provides for two ways in which a general election can be held before the end of this five-year period:

If the House of Commons resolves "That this House has no confidence in Her Majesty's Government", an early general election is held, unless the House of Commons subsequently resolves "That this House has confidence in Her Majesty's Government". This second resolution must be made within fourteen days of the first.
If the House of Commons, with the support of two-thirds of its total membership (including vacant seats), resolves "That there shall be an early parliamentary general election".

Since the Tories are hardly likely to have a no confidence vote in the newly elected Prime Minister and Labour are hardly in a fit state to want an early election, I don't see an election before 2020.

GRAN YES

I seem to remember:


Defence Secretary Liam Fox has resigned after a week of pressure over his working relationship with friend and self-styled adviser Adam Werritty.
Mr Fox was being investigated amid claims he broke the ministerial code.
In a letter to David Cameron, Mr Fox said he had "mistakenly allowed" personal and professional responsibilities to be "blurred".
Mr Cameron said he was very sorry to see him go. Transport Secretary Philip Hammond will replace Mr Fox.
Labour said Mr Fox had not upheld the standards expected of ministers and his departure had been "inevitable".

Something to do with misuse, which joe blogs might have ended up in court for.

Good leader.
