There is? So what is the difference? He will no longer be mr speaker after 31 oct will he? Will he remain as MP?
My expectation is that it will be interesting to watch how his successor will be selected...
DR>>> It's no secret! :-)
MvdV>> I never claimed it was a new idea. ;-) So what do you think? MvdV>> Does it have a chance?
DR> 50-50 I would say.
You'r an optimist! ;-)
It would be a way out. The North Irish were against Brexit and this way they will de facto remain in the EU...
Then again it will opn the door to secession from the UK and reuniting with the republic of Ireland...
DR> But the news this morning is that the Scottish Supreme Court has ruled DR> that the prorogation of Parliament was illegal on the basis that Boris DR> called it for his own selfish reasons.
I am puzzled. My intuition says that a Scottish court has jurisdiction in Scotland. Not in the rest of the UK. Am I wong?
If I am right, what does a Scottisch Court ruling say about a decison made by Boris Johnson?
What if a Scottish court says "yes" and an English Court says "no" om the same issue? Scottish law vs English law?
Are the Scottish presorting fo secession fom the UK?
DR> Next week the UK Supreme Court will also consider the subject. Never a DR> dull moment.
Is that the equivalent of a US Federal Court?
DR> Also the Labour Party cannot decide whether to have another referendum DR> before or after the next election!
If they can not choose, someone else will make the choice for them...
DR> Oh, and if the Liberal Democrats win the next election they've just DR> said that they will cancel Brexit - assuming it hasn't taken place, of DR> course!
The LibDems are a small party. The chance that they get a majority is small is it?
DR> Even "Yes, Minister" didn't get this chaotic! Who needs scriptwriters?
That was a long time go. Since then a lot of water has flowed through the Thames, the Tay, the Severn and the Foyle...
