Doesn't England use a Queen?

If you are interested in the UK general election, you will find the Question Time debates fascinating.

I love watching the British Parliamentary activities. Would that our Congress were half as honest in their assessment of their "esteemed colleagues".

Yes, the United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy, with an elected parliament, called the House of Commons. It is also known as the mother of parliaments.

John Pilger on Brexit

 

[frigidweirdo]

To be summed up quite easily.

Two parties can win. One will destroy the NHS, education, the police etc, the other will simply destroy everything. Hardly a choice there. But unlike the US elections, there are smaller parties to vote for who could potentially have an impact. If the UK had PR instead of FPTP, smaller parties would be walking through the park on this one, the main two parties being so loathsome.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

The tories will win. Labour will split into two parties (at least) and in 5 years time they will all work together to rebuild the country after years of brexit tory shit. Britain deserves to suffer for its stupidity and here it comes.

The most interesting part of the British general elections is that no party and no candidate speaks about the most important aspect of British life, which is how to pay your every penny that you earn for your mortgage/rent.

They all speak about spending money, like national health service and whatever, but none about housing debt.

Under such condition, the party that has been historically least likely to worsen existing personal debt will win, and that is the Tories.

The election media is all about the retiree generation only too.
