Parliament Votes Theresa May the Power to Actually Execute #Brexit
Globalists and leftists attempted to limit her by adding lots of amendments whose requirements must be met before any #Brexit could actually happen -- essentially making #Brexit an impossibility -- but they were all just voted down and now PM May has a clean authority to actually take the UK out of the EU.
Nine proposals in all, ranging from the rights of EU migrants to the opinions of the Gibraltar Government, were put to the vote, and one by one all nine proposals were thrown out by MPs. It was a flawless night for Theresa May, as the EU (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill was passed by 494 votes to 122 in its original, unamended form. Eurosceptic MPs could barely contain their excitement, with one minister saying as he went to vote: "I am about to have the best moment of my life since my wedding night."In fairness to wedding nights, his wife was English. At lexit -- Brexit. Maybe.

During my trip, I will surreptitiously try to gauge the opinions of "average people" while there. But it will be difficult because unlike Americans Brits in the past have tended to be tight-lipped about their political opinions. Maybe that has changed recently. let us hope.

New thread? Well here's a carryover question:
In the USA: If the Commiecrats go full anti-white-retard, could a 3rd party emerge, a la Ross Perot's Reform Party, of disaffected union bosses and their followers? Especially if the GOPee thwarts Trump's attempts at working class appeals? (e.g., more protectionism, Immigration Control, less globalism)
Or has Trump co-opted these people reasonably well?
How this connects to the UK: I am thinking of the UK under Thatcher, when the Labour Party went so far Left as to be Communist, and the disgusted moderate Labourites went to the Liberal party, renamed the Social Democrat Liberal Alliance Party.
Then again, the UK has a parliamentary system, so 3rd parties can emerge there and last, unlike the USA presidential-congressional system, which pretty much enforces two parties.

Posted by: Hatexit at February 08, 2017 06:32 PM (OzJeO)
Understood. The "first past the post" electoral system pretty much guarantees two *major* parties.
However, the Parliamentary systems of the UK, Canada, AUS, NZ, etc., seem to allow minor 3rd parties to survive and endure.
This is quite unlike the US Presidential-Congressional system, where 3rd parties are almost immediately co-opted and absorbed by one of the two major parties in the next election.

That is for the American government to do. Whether the EU exists or not registers a big ZERO on my meter. What does irk me is that our government doesn't make it clear to the EU that they can't fuck around with American companies and what they do in America. If the EU wants to start laying heavy tariffs and taxes on American companies and products, then fine, return the favor seven-fold. But I don't need the EU to disappear in order to save American business from such outside meddling. If we let the EU get away with this shit then there will just be others who try to pull the same shit after the EU is gone.
To me, the Eurotrash can all stay in the EU and do Eurotrash sorts of things. It makes no difference to me. But they have to keep their noses out of our business and it is our government's job to protect our liberties and rights to commerce against such dipshits. After all, it has been America that has protected the ocean lanes for all. The EU just needs to be reminded of this, not handled with kid gloves.

Which the U.K. generally has had through it's history. Most of their 3rd parties are regional in fact (various N. Ireland parties, Plaid Cymru, SNP) or in appeal (Lib Dems, though they serve as an outlet for Labour dissenters).
In the U.S., the parties are more of a pre-election coalition, while elsewhere the narrower groups have their own parties.

So I see this headline "Gorsuch calls Trump comments about judges 'disheartening and demoralizing" and think oh great...then I read the story....
A source on the president's Supreme Court nomination team told Fox
that Judge Neil Gorsuch made the remark in a meeting with Sen. Richard
Blumenthal, D-Conn.
Blumenthal told reporters after the meeting that
Gorsuch had expressed to me that he is disheartened by the demoralizing
and abhorrent comments by president trump about the judiciary.
Blumenthal? Yeah, I'll wait for more verification. Not taking that rat bastard's word for anything.

I would disagree. The American character was not like the British. The colonists were never looked upon as if they were British, and even though many colonists loved Britain, life in the colonies was thoroughly different. My view is that it was the open and wild nature of this land that shaped the particular American character - and it was very particular, even pre-Revolution.
The notions of individual rights and worth came down more from Judeo-Christian philosophy than anything else. The revolutionary idea of Judaism that Man is made in G-d's image - each man being a likeness of G-d - is what imbues inherent worth and value in the individual. Add to the the pioneering life in the colonies ... and you have America and the American character.
I'm not saying that the British influence wasn't great - clearly it was as only the ex-British colonies were ever really successful, with the ex-Spanish and other colonies generally turning immediately into shitholes with independence - but we were not a mini-Britain in any way. We were far different from the Brits in our character.

Sure, but those ideas were implemented and given form in civics and government by the British. Its no joke our constitution heavily relied on previous British documents such as the Magna Carta for its inspiration. Ideas of individual liberty and opposition to central government was in the blood of colonists who came from the British Isles.

This can be stopped at any time. Congress has the power - and the responsibility - to remove bad judges. If Congress would ever do its job in this respect the judiciary would never have gotten so insanely out of control. Congress is bound to defend the Constitution as much as any of the other branches and it is given Constitutional power to rein in insane and anti-Constitutional judges via impeachment and removal.

You should read a good book on 18th century British politics. I suggest Colley's Britons. I think you'll find that the concerns and frustrations with British rule in the colonies were not unique, but were very close to the concerns and frustrations with Royal rule back in the old Motherland.

Debatable. Locke was widely revered in the colonies, but it was for his "Essay on Human Understanding" rather than the political writings he is known for today, I think. Algernon Sidney, while largely unknown today, was a contemporary of Locke with similar views and was very popular at the time of the Revolution.

I'm not a reader but I'll try to take a look at it.
Even so, the reactions and consequences of both were totally different. What we did here was unique. Unique in world history. And even to this day pretty much no other nation has bothered to copy it - save the Phillipines. And this is in the context of nations remaking themselves over and over (France being in its 5th republic, for instance) and the creation of so many new states in the wakes of the various wars and at other times. Yet, with all these new states popping up and old ones renovating their governance, pretty much none has adopted the US system. Most have taken on one of the silly European party-oriented parliamentary systems (which are all dog shit). Odd, really.

I would consider the Seven Years War (1754-1763) to be the first global war. There were previous wars between Britain & France that had minor colonial campaigns, but in this war the colonial theaters were major factors in the war - the war having begin in Pennsylvania, in fact.

Someone must have: 52 Rs minus Sessions is 51. Manchin voted for him so that would be 52 yea votes if all the R's (but Sessions) voted for him also.

Thanks, sunny-dee.
I think most of us, even those who supported Trump, knew he wasn't perfect and would sometimes do things that would piss us off.
But so far he's beyond my wildest expectations and I was an enthusiastic supporter.

Lame procedural stuff that lawyers love. It keeps order and makes sure the vote is proper so nobody can pull any crap later about no quorum.

I don't really know anything about the Seven Years War, but I've read that too. Apparently there were also battles in colonies elsewhere in the world besides North America.

OK... thanks. The only way her vote wouldn't have been counted is if she didn't cast it. She must have been out of the chamber when they finished the vote and modified later.

Believe it or not, Jefferson once made a list of the top three thinkers in different categories. John Locke made the top three...in epistomology. The top three political theorists Jefferson listed were Montesquieu, Sidney, and someone-I-can't-recall-but-not-Locke, if my memory serves me right.
As a matter of fact, apart from the near-quotation of Locke in the Declaration of Independence, you would be hard pressed to prove that Jefferson ever even read Locke's 2nd Treatise on Government, though that seems hard to believe. He apparently never owned a copy, unless it was bound up with some other writings!

The vote was 52 to 47 which = 99. Sessions abstained which = 100. What is hard about this?
Posted by: Tami at February 08, 2017 07:36 PM (Enq6K)
I read Montesquieu's political writings and he was very good. His analysis of different government types and their strengths, weaknesses, and requirements were spot on and easy to read.

But the establishment behemoth that has to be slain has tentacles everywhere. There will have to be some kind of reaching across the aisle, especially since Dems will be more helpful on America First Trade than the Chamber of Commerce open borders brigade.
When I get too worried, I just think how Hilda would have been the end of US. But we're only in week three. A RBG or Kennedy retirement, Sessions pushing some buttons, lots of moving parts still getting into gear. But constant reminders to Trump are still in order.

Trump could end up being the wedge that took down the entire European Union. If you want a reference of the way he works, take a look at the Pacific Rim deal he axed. Currently, negotiations are taking place with each individual nation that was part of that agreement. In essence, they are currently competing with each other to be able to sell wares in the US. He'll do the same to the EU countries teetering towards a populist movement away from the EU.
