U.K. exit poll shows Boris Johnson's Conservative Party with a clear majority of parliamentary seats

UFC?

Sounds like a blast.

Next month I will be in Vegas for NFL Conference Championship Weekend and the McGregor/Holm Card.

The funny thing about the Johnson Parody is that Corden was brought on (one and done) to spoof the NATO Summit.

But, now with Johnson's big win, it may be too good to pass up.

 

Nobody watches SNL these days, its just not funny.

 

In my opinion, based on recent shows, I would say about 10 minutes of it is worth watching (depending on whether or not one is a fan of the musical guest).

After the cood open (usually the best part) they are lucky if they can get another good 5 minutes.

The reason that most people "don't watch it", is b/c if something really cool does happen, it will be all over YouTube, etc.

So, they don't feel the need to sit there for 90 minutes just to get 10 minutes of decent material.

Anyway, back to the topic of Boris, I hope they have a good skit for the cold open.

 

Because of the EU institutions, the weakest and most irrelevant is the Parliament. The commission is undemocratic, unelected, and creates laws with no democratic input. If you were designing a national government, this wouldn't be considered any sort of representative government, at all, it probably resembles China in practice more than any individual democratic government in Europe. Therefore: Authoritarian Superstate. Why do you support such an undemocratic government?

 

That's ridiculous. The EU doesn't in structure resemble anything like the US Federal government.

 

I feel that's the point, Dublin III Regulations, and edicts like it, from Brussels, specifically.

The UK will now negotiate from a position of strength free from the Belgian bourgeoisie and diktat from afar.

The ECJ has reaffirmed the UK's current responsibility under Dublin rules. That means British authorities must take back asylum-seekers that entered the EU via the UK, despite its intention to withdraw.

The European Court of Justice (ECJ) on Wednesday ruled that British authorities must accept asylum seekers who entered the EU via the UK for the period in which it is a member, even though it has announced its intention to leave the bloc.

The ruling is an affirmation of asylum procedures in Europe under the so-called Dublin rules, which gives EU member states the right to deport asylum seekers to their point of entry in the bloc.


And...

No agreement in sight on Dublin IV
The thorniest sticking point is reform of the so-called Dublin III Regulation. It determines which member states are responsible for which asylum-seekers. The European Commission has proposed providing relief to potentially overburdened countries of first entry — mainly Italy and Greece — through redistribution. Yet many Central and Eastern European countries are strictly opposed to that concept.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has long maintained that the problems posed by refugees and asylum-seekers are Germany's, because Chancellor Merkel is the one who "invited" them to the EU.

Couldn't agree more!

 

Try again

 

We're excited because we're fighting the same beast.

 

I'm sure you had many counterparts in the UK saying "Labour is gonna win for sure. You can take it to the bank."

 

I DOUBT That.

Every Poll (and Serious Observer) had the Tories winning a decisive majority.

 

lol

Conservatives winning, even abroad makes you so angry. The world rejects Communism, Fascism and other "isms".......

Good for the world, bad for the haters.

 

You, of all people, should not underestimate how delusional lefties can be. Surely you have heard of Mueller time and PQP.

 

Every Pre-Election Poll in the UK (even those "Underplaying Tory Expectations") had the Tories winning a Clear Majority.

 

Lefties don't care about evidence.

 

You love propaganda and that's why he won

 

But you are aware that the council is made up of the heads of government of each country and they represent the will of each country and that they are democratically elected.
Maybe you need to re-check the powers of parliament.

 

Luckily it does not, the US has a corrupt 2 party system, with a election system which does not represent the majority.

 

Which centralized power ?
The UK as a member had veto rights in the council. Everything has to go through council and parliament and the most powerful weapon is the veto in the council.
The UK used it consistently and prevented any reforms or progress or create a special status in the EU.

 

Oh yeah, whatever happened to the Man of Tomorrow?

 

OK after rechecking, I find that the only faintly "democratic" part of the EU is the Parliament, since they are actually elected by the people, but they can't propose laws and any amendments or changes they recommend have to be approved by the council, so in other words, it's not a real parliament, its a fake one. The only part of the EU that people can vote on is the fake part.

I myself don't see what is attractive at all in such a set up for someone who's grown up under a representative government like I have, but I realize that Europeans are different, and have a history of accepting authoritarianism and bending the knee. If you like it, that's fine, but it seems that the UK decided it didn't and bailed. Shouldn't that be OK for people to live under governments that they feel represent them?

 

Heh, unlike the EU who's election system only elects a phony parliament!

 

Like in the US, were 1 guy decides what is voted on in the Senate. That is dictator ship.
What is it 400 decisions, voted in the house and not even 1 was given a chance to be voted on in the Senate, a decision made by 1 person.
You call that democracy, really ?

The members of the EU council are all elected by the people of their countries and with the veto power, they are able to protect the interest of their country.
Any law the commission presents has to be voted on in the Parliament. The commission has to work with Parliament to get the vote and has to work with the council to get the vote.
Some of the laws and treaties require confirmation in the national Parliaments.
It can not be more democratic.

 

Unlike the US were only 2 people decide which laws or proposals get a vote, or Presidential elections ignore the vote of the majority.

 

Apparently the voters of the UK disagreed. Since you are not British, I'm perplexed why you are so butt-hurt about it. Do you think the EU should send it's massive EU Army to the UK and put down those rebel scum?
