The UK is a kingdom, not a democracy. If it were a democracy, then its head of state and every political leader would be elected. The Queen is head of state but really doesn't get involved. The government is elected and political parties are meant to be democratic by honouring the peoples vote If the left had there way and the others who are against the crown the queen would be gone! Yes, Kingdom is land ruled by a king or queen. They just kind of keep things in check as a last resort. So, Mikey. Is the UK a kingdom, a democracy or both or none of the above? Is it a democratic kingdom or a kingly democracy? Fact still remains: People voted and the results were ignored. I don't know, maybe that's how it's supposed to work in a kingdom like England Well I'd say it's a democracy. The Queen in theory can rule against something but that never happens. when there is an election the incoming leader goes to her and asks for permission to form a government. I think that's just show like much of the going on in the theatre of the house of commons. I'm sure it was our system that's the model for democracy around the world? Magna carta rings a bell, but so did quasimodo and look where that got him That sounds exactly like how the kingdom of Belgium works. "I'm sure it was our system that's the model for democracy around the world?" I would argue, maybe in error since I'm not THAT bright, that the model for Democracy around the world was born with the Roman Republic. It's no coincidence that the U.S and Germany and a few other countries have an Eagle for its "standard". "Magna carta rings a bell, but so did quasimodo and look where that got him" Quasimodo was also in love with a woman WAY OUT of his league and... look where THAT got him Oh yeah, I remember the girl from the film, what was her name? Oh yeah it was dave, the cage fighting lesbian feminist I think it was her who set fire to notre dam You mean Dave, the cage fighting lesbian transvestite feminist? OH yeah, I know her/him/it. She/he/it went to my favourite pub in Brussels and asked the bartender for a beer and a bj... She/he/it woke up the next morning in the alley next to a dumpster with a colostomy bag stuck up so far up he/his/its rear that she thought someone had pulled her/hi/its stomach through her colon

Its a complete joke and they will never do it they don't want to mess up the peace treaty in Ireland and will never agree on what will and the EU holds all the cards.

The EU holds nothing but propaganda and their arse-cheeks in their hands. Nowhere in the agreement is it stipulated that the EU block has the right to hold an entire nation hostage after it has decided to leave the block. However, I do agree that Brexit may never happen, simply because the UK politicians, like most of the rest of them around the world, are spineless liars and are held to the strings of the Globalist banksters like Pinochio to Geppetto.

BrexIt - BrexStop (rather than BackStop); Quo vadis Great Britain?

Well, this is looking bad for the Country. With the Supreme Court (an institution created by ex-PM Tony Blair in imitation of the USA) voting unanimously that Parliament was not prorogued (even though it was) and a Parliament that refuses to accept the result of the largest vote in our history, has voted to refuse any deal achieved by PM Boris Johnson and is refusing go hold a General Election. Anyone seen the film "V for Vendetta"?

Seamus. I'm not really into politics but following it more lately. Did you see parliament last night? I watched it as was fed up with false reporting by the media. Who ever you support it was plain that labour were trying to project there lies on to conservatives! Like him or not borris gave them chit and to right! He offered them an election maybe 10 times last night! I'm peed off with the lot of them but at least borris is doing what us 'the people 'voted for. Corbyn is a terrorist hugging communist plain and simple! And all his followers live in cloud cuckoo land!

Given everything that they've said and done over the last three years, it would be difficult to argue against what you've said. I can only worry for the future of this Country if we don't leave at the end of October. I have heard that lots of people are saying that if there's no Halloween Brexit, then November the Fifth comes next.

The opposition is getting just like the opposition in the usa. Dragging up anything they can find! Obviously the 2 women he put his hand on their knee, at the same time I might add are remoaners and left wing

Curious that no complaint was made at the time, but now it could harm Boris, or BJ as I suppose you could call him..... they bring it up in the hope of causing maximum harm. So sad that politics has gone this way but they do say that what happens in the USA will happen here aobut ten years later. Perhaps now we should say 'will happen here next year'.

Its always the same they are happy and fine with everything until it makes good ammo or there is a chance to get a few qwid and that's the world we live in now.

Not sure how long I'll be able to post. I'm waiting for the police to come get me as apparently I touched a girls knee 30 years ago Why has touching someone's knee while talking to them been called 'groping' All the chit that's going on and that's what the media want to ask Personally I think the media get off on those types of story!

I think that the media in this Country abandoned any pretence of impartiality several years ago now.

I agree Seamus When was it there right to be judge and jury and decide what we should see/hear? They are meant to report news not make it!

It seems that the broadcast media in particular have a vested interest which is very much in sympathy with those who want the Country to remain in Europe but you can't achieve that goal without it being obvious.

Not only the media, but also most politicians prefer to remain. It's bizarre that both main parties said they would respect the referendum result but neither of them seem to actually have any respect. The Tories were until recently led by an MP who voted to remain and Labour are led by someone who has always been anti EU but has now been forced by his party to have a 'neutral' opinion in the next election. Seems to me all the Remoaners will vote for the LibDems, the only party that has a clear policy (but the wrong one!). I suspect at the next election, the Tories will win but not with an overall majority. The LibDems will become the offical opposition, and Labour will disappear into the mists of history. Unless the Leave vote is distributed among the Brexit party and the Tories, letting the LibDems in to run the next parliament! We shall see!

You can guarantee that if we stayed in the media would change to the opposite!

It certainly looks like the Labour party will be reduced to a rump and third place, if not worse and they will have earned it. Parliament and politics in this Country seems long overdue for reform, which we might actually get when we do leave Europe and I still think that we will.

Will we? won't we? That is the question! And it might become clearer in the coming week. Many times have observers referred to 'crunch time' but I think we can truly say that this week coming will be that crunch time. The EU has said that we have had our last extension. If they stick to that we will have to leave with no deal, but that will be illegal. Not sure how we can leave if it is illegal. Can the law force us to remain, i.e negate the decision to leave? I don't know! I have always thought that desirable though it is, actually leaving is not possible. This is because of the Good Friday agreement which said that there will never be a border between the north and the south. The current plans are for the UK, including Northen Ireland, to leave the EU, but the south will remain in the EU. There has to be a border between the EU and any neighbouring non-EU country. So how do you square that circle? Not possible! All the attempts thus far are just fudges and one party or another will fiercely resist them. If Ireland could decide to unite and become one country (but they won't) that country could then decide either to leave the EU and remain part of Britain (but the south will never do that), or remain in the EU and no longer be part of Britain (but the north will never do that). As far as I can see, those are the mechanisms by which the UK could leave the EU. But of course none of that could happen. Seems the only option is to cancel Article 50, return to being as we were and continue the discussions about leaving as we should have done in the first place. It's all stupid Cameron's fault, offering the country a chance to leave without taking Ireland into account. He was confident his remain option would win but he guessed wrong and then the coward ran away from office. May did her best but the EU knew she was really a remainer so they called her bluff about leaving on 31 March, and again, knowing she would cave in each time. I think Boris is made of sterner stuff and it is to his credit that he is standing up against those who trying to stop him carrying out the stated will of the country. We shall see what happens this week.
