Ok so, we've had an uncodified constitution since the beginning of our history, and it has went through everything from two World Wars, to the dissolving of the Empire, and now the thing that will irreversibly break the constitution is Boris fucking Johnson.
Great.

December 30, 2023 at 3:06 pm
Accurate AF! Thank you for your videos! I’ve been following since february, when I read the news today came right back to this video. It’s crazy how far-fetched the idea of prorogation seemed, and now it’s just about to happen, bringing even the Queen into this major hurricane of british politics that has become Brexit. Based on my very limited knowledge of british history, I’d say it is the greatest challenge to it’s political system to ever happen. Every aspect of it seems complex, every problem solved adds ten new ones to the puzzle. I wonder what’s about to come in the coming months, it’s been like watching a political soup opera!

Who would contest it and could they stop him. What would be the implications for Country and Politics?
@fwcolb
December 30, 2023 at 3:06 pm
Hang about a minute or two. The UK Parliament passed the EU Withdrawal Act 2018, which provides for the UK to leave the EU with or without a deal. Parliament can amend or repeal that Act. But what Parliament cannot do is to order the Prime Minister NOT to implement the law. And as the law now stands, the UK is out on October 31st at 11 PM with or without a deal. It is up to the EU to offer a deal that the UK can accept.
The PM is entitled to prorogue Parliament if Parliament keeps trying to ignore a statute that Parliament itself passed and cannot or will not amend or repeal.
In fact, the Fixed Term Parliament Act 2011 specifically preserved the Royal prerogative to prorogue Parliament. That power is, in effect, wielded by the PM.
We are a nation that is ruled by law and not by mobs, including mobs made up of backbench MPs.
@briangronberg6507

Setting Brexit aside, what purpose does prorogation normally serve? Why is it necessary for Parliament to be in a position that’s somewhere between a recess and dissolution?

December 30, 2023 at 3:06 pm
Hi TLDR, I love your videos, they are hugely helpful. Thanks a lot for doing that it's great work really!
I have one question on this video though. Can you explain why does Parliament need to approve a no deal Brexit for it to happen? I was under the impression that, once article 50 is triggered, a no deal brexit would be the default option after the deadline for negotiation expires and would therefore automatically happen if no deal has been agreed by then.
@willyhill7509
December 30, 2023 at 3:06 pm
They don't have to "force" anything, MP's voted to invoke article 50 which meant we leave the EU after 2 years, Theresa May asked for two extensions, at the moment we leave on the 31st October by default unless another extension is asked for and then if the EU agrees. All this no deal bollocks is just that, a load of bollocks dreamt up to swindle the British public out of the referendum win. The EU won't even discuss a deal till we have left so there is no alternative to leaving without a deal other than remaining. May/EU "Deal" wasn't a deal, it was a withdrawal agreement and any future deal wouldn't be discussed till we had left anyway with or without the withdrawal agreement.

Apparently it’s democratic to have a second referendum without even implementing the first one but it’s undemocratic to prorogue parliament when they’re trying to stop brexit you remainers are foolish can’t wait to leave on October the 31st😂😂😂
@jacobthom5836
December 30, 2023 at 3:06 pm
Putting aside the fact this video is hugely one sided, it also isn't accurate. It is already law that the UK leaves the EU with or without a withdrawal agreement on 31st October under the European Union Withdrawal Act 2018, so it isn't true, nor does it make sense, for parliament to agree something (leaving without an agreement) which has already been passed into law. Parliament cannot legally take a withdrawal without an agreement (no-deal) off the table unless they repeal the EU Withdrawal Act 2018. If parliament voted overwhelmingly again against leaving without an agreement, it would only be advisory to the prime minister, not a legal instruction. So, prorogation won't be needed in order for a withdrawal without an agreement to come about. One other route parliament could take to stop leaving without an agreement is a motion of no confidence in the government, followed by an election, where the new government can attempt to repeal the EU Withdrawal Act 2018, but by the time this has happened, the 31st October probably would've already passed and we would've left without an agreement. Recent articles say that leaving without an agreement is now inevitable if the PM is determined enough and unless, of course, the EU are prepared to change the withdrawal agreement. Folks, we leave on the 31st October without an agreement. It's law. It can't be stopped with a determined PM.
@fwcolb
December 30, 2023 at 3:06 pm
In the UK, the PM has wielded the Royal Prerogative on behalf of the Crown since 1689. We call that the Glorious Revolution. The PM can prorogue or dissolve Parliament and call for a general election. It is the foundation of British democracy. Besides, Boris would be proroguing Parliament to implement the law, specifically the EU Withdrawal Act 2018 that some MPs are plotting to sabotage. Every government has the duty to implement the law. Mrs May had to resign because she refused to do so.
@michelguevara151
December 30, 2023 at 3:06 pm
Teresa May, the most sacked Minister in the history of british government, ineffectual, ignorant and full of herself, she has no intention of 'making a deal', it's pretence : the EU will dictate an she'll do what every british government since 1997 has done : blame the EU, instead of telling the EU that they have no jurisdiction over the rights of britons.
she's a horse that is being flogged despite being in a dogfood can.

Devotees of the Brexit religion claim to represent the "Will of the People". I'm sure that many of them have no idea that the referendum was legally not binding for both Government and parliament but advisory. Yes, I know, the latter could hardly ignore it, and as we know they haven't.
A thought: If Neville Chamberlain had decided to call a referendum in September 1939 on whether to declare war on Germany after Hitler's Invasion of Poland, considering it "was a far off country in Eastern Europe about which most of us know very little" as he stated while abandoning Czechoslovakia through the Munich Agreement to Hitler's mercy in 1938, what is anybody's guess how the British public would have voted? My own guess is that there would have been a very large majority for appeasing Hitler and not declaring war. And that would have been the "Will of the People". My point: The outcome would have been suicidal and no politician, not even a Chamberlain, in their right mind would have even considered asking the British public to vote in a referendum on an issue of life and death for the country. Why? Because ordinary people do not have the expertise to evaluate complicated issues that aren'tt part of their daily lives and therefore vote for representatives to make these decsions on their behalves. Yes, I know that's considered heresy by some, but Britain is a representative democracy where sovereignity lies with Parliament (under the Crown) and democracy functions at the polls every four or five years. Bexit isn't war – but it is the most serious issue facing Britain since the war and will determine the future of millions of Brits for generations to come, in which half of a badly informed population, (of those that bothered to vote) is trying to drag the other half with it into Never-Never-Land. Btw, even a parliamentry vote on a basically constitutional issue such as this requires a two thirds majority in almost any other Western democracy.

One issue your video glossed over was that if a member of a party does not support their government in a no confidence vote, he/she deselected and unable to run again as a Tory. That is a big price to pay that your video ignored.
@anderskorsback4104
December 30, 2023 at 3:06 pm
This is what happens when you have a form of government where the constitutional monarch officially has a whole lot of powers, but seldom gets to use them because there's a strong democratic consensus against it. Pretty much every attempt by the monarch to actually use said powers during the last two centuries or so has led to a constitutional crisis and the reduction of said powers.
@davidjooste8465
December 30, 2023 at 3:06 pm
But since the new PM is scheduled to take office round about the 25 July and parliament is set for its break at the end of July when will parliament have the opportunity to hear what the new PM's Brexit strategy would be? (Given that mainstream media fell right centre for the Boris domestic feud set-up in which how do we keep Boris in the news without Boris saying anything significant that could possibly swing the vote to Hunt – which as a remainer would be a second May)

@MartinJames389
December 30, 2023 at 3:06 pm
There is no such thing as "UK law". There is the law of England & Wales, the law of Scotland and the law of "Northern Ireland". Not only are they different, but Scots law isn't even a Common Law system, like England & Wales and about a third of the world. It has as different court system, different land tenure, different criminal law and many other distinctions. The legal (and educational) systems have never been aligned, but always remained separate. Some Scots legislation is made by the Scottish Parliament, other law applying to Scotland is made at Westminster. That requires either a separate Act, applying only to Scotland, or special provisions in an Act applying it to Scotland and "translating" its terms into Scots law. Without one or other of these, a law oassed at Westminster doesn't apply to Scotland at all. There are now a few divergences in law between England and Wales, but these are new and have been legislated only in recent years. Some of the differences in law in "Northern Ireland" are notorious -there is no gay marriage and abortion is so severely restricted that it's effectively illegal.
