Carrying a vote of No Confidence after defeat on a major issue in the Commons is the standard way of forcing the relinquishing of power by a prime minister in the United Kingdom Parliament. Canada, whose parliamentary democracy is modelled on that of the United Kingdom, has just had its Parliament prorogued by the Governor-General who represents the Head of State Queen Elizabeth II. This has been ...

What a pathetic little country the United Kingdom has become, the mass media has painted itself green and is wetting itself, doing all it can to help force an election recount in Iran, which if they have there way will place a man in the Iranian Presidency who when Prime Minister oversaw the mass murder of his political opponents. Whilst they are doing this they see no contradiction in the fact th...

On the next leg of his masochism tour Gordon Brown, Labour Leader and unfortunately still prime minister of the United Kingdom, received what he deserves and seems to be seeking, this time from Poland's Prime Minister Tusk. Brown, in his now standard body-language shouting down of any other speaker, pretended not to understand despite a first rate real time translation, as the prime minister of Po...

The President of the United States has taken some action against bonuses for the bailed-out. So I cannot for the life of me see what excuse the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom could possibly trot out for having failed to do so. No bonuses.

"This is also not a debate, as has been falsely claimed, about extending laws which apply in one part of the United Kingdom to another." Iris Robinson on the extending of a law (the 1967 Abortion Act) which applies in one part of the United Kingdom to another. Unfortunately as the Guardian is reporting this morning, it looks very unlikely that a debate, never mind vote, will even be held on the su...

Gerry Hassan has given Gordon Brown a right good savaging over at Our Kingdom: As any schoolchild should know the United Kingdom is not a nation, but a state made up of four nations. The United Kingdom is a “nationless state”. Does not this basic failure to understand the UK tell us something about Brown and

This is how pathetic Harriet Harman is. In a history entitled Women in Power: Milestones, Harperson manages to omit the first female Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. The first female councillor is there. So is the first female peer. But not the first female occupant of 10 Downing Street? Why? Because, of course, the first female Prime Minister of this country was none other than Margaret That...
