Yes, they bow and walk backwards out of the Palace every week after a meeting with the Queen. You've already sweared allegience to her majesty's parliament when you enter the house. It's a bit much, but I also don't think it does any harm to see our politicians humbled on a regular basis. Edited 23 June 2018 by MattP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well from what I read a few months ago it was pretty anti-immigration which I myself don’t really see as sustainable or the global future - but if they are going to be centrist they need to get a mainstream body of voters behind them from the left and right or they have no chance obviously. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/apr/07/new-political-party-break-mould-westminster-uk-brexit Edited 23 June 2018 by Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An anti-immigration pro-EU (with effective unlimited immigration) party just isn't going to come up with any sort of coherent manifesto. I don't see what sort of voter that could attract, certainly nowhere near in great numbers. I can only see space for a new "centrist" party if political polarisation ends and that won't happen soon. When you think about the current situation it's ludicrous beyond words, we've got a Remain supporting Prime Minister trying to pretend to implement a "hard Brexit" to keep masses of her voting base happy and then a Eurosceptic opposition leader trying to pretend to support a "softer Brexit" to keep masses of his voting base happy. I have no idea how it's ended up like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She should show more respect to them. Christ. The fact that isn't at all the reason the UK was involved in the world wars means nothing, does it? On both occasions the UK entered the conflict in response to a foreign invasion of an ally nation. There's an argument for the UK entering actually to maintain our system of governance even, which runs counter to your claim there. The people who fought and died from our country in those conflicts actually swore allegiance to their monarch. Not quite sure what point you're trying to make here. "I... swear by Almighty God (do solemnly, and truly declare and affirm) that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Her Heirs and Successors, and that I will, as in duty bound, honestly and faithfully defend Her Majesty, Her Heirs and Successors, in Person, Crown and Dignity against all enemies, and will observe and obey all orders of Her Majesty, Her Heirs and Successors, and of the (admirals / generals/ air officers) and officers set over me."

Oh I'm not saying it's her fault, just making the point than any human awkwardness is now picked on in politics to an incredible extent. Her doing a curtsy, Miliband eating, Trump and his hair, Corbyn and his dress sense. Unless you are Macron or Obama you are will be judged.

Probably dude, but I happen to think that she's massively struggling to push the 'what the people voted for' rhetoric and she knows that Brexit is going to be a disaster but she's going to push on anyway. I can't forgive that. She clearly values self-preservation and her stature over doing the best thing for the populous of the country she represents - I find that disgusting. Her gangly ways and awkward demeanour aren't her fault but I don't think it's acceptable for the leader of a country like this to have those mannerisms. She inspires zero confidence in her own party or party followers and it's not helping in the current situation. I'm trying real hard to be less pessimistic and judgemental in general at the moment but man, she's just awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
