May's Government Survives Confidence Vote, 200 of Her Own MPs Expressing Confidence, But 117 Conservatives Expressing No Confidence
We won't have a Trexit over Brexit. (Though May already announced she will not stand for PM at the next elections.)
I'm just learning that the entire Parliament apparently doesn't vote on a no-confidence vote, but only those in the parliamentary party -- the Conservatives. While she won the vote, she lost a lot of her fellow party members. If we assume most of the Conservatives voting against her did so over her Brexit negotiations/plan, then it seems doubtful she can get her Brexit package through the entire Parliament.Live BBC coverage here. Look for the "LIVE" button just under the main headline image, on the left. (I can't seem to link it directly.) BTW, I put the Google post into draft. It's an important story and I think it should be a main point of discussion. As this May news will dominate any comments thread, I'm keeping it in draft until after the May discussion has run its course. In Case You Missed It: m linked this stunt from earlier this week. An MP stole the ceremonial mace from Parliament -- and it is the bequeathing of the mace by the queen that empowers Parliament to pass laws in her name, that is, the mace carries with it the royal power of lawmaking -- but was intercepted from Parliament on the way out. Without the mace, the Parliament lacks any lawmaking power. Interesting British lore.

But this DOESN'T mean the pseudo-Brexit deal goes through, at least from what I've seen. This is something the Brits do when the government screws up bigly, but which allows it to stay in.
After Tobruk fell, and Rommel advanced into Egypt, they had such a vote backing WSC.

need I point out that the Death Star was destroyed in the first movie,
came back larger in a sequel and was destroyed again before it was
finished, and then came back again, planet-sized and called
"Star-Killer," and destroyed again?

From an Italina reporter - The faces of the Gilet Jaunes. Here is a report from the outskirts of Paris where husbands, moms and their kids, grandparents have gathered to protest Macron and the onerous taxes and regulations imposed by the EU. They complain about the refugees, who are mostly military age men. The one guy at the end says, "If there were a war in France, I'd stay home to protect my family, I wouldn't flee to another country".
In the beginning they blocked entrance to the Amazon facility. Trucks can't pass but motorists in cars are allowed to.
Another guy talks about how his pension was reduced from 1400 Euro to 900. The main theme from all of them is that Macron and the elites take care of themselves while ignoring the populace.

The opposition can table a vote of confidence against her government at any time. This is complicated however as she has 316 MPs, they have 317 across all parties, and there are the 10 DUP members from Northern Ireland who support her government on a confidence and supply basis but loathe her so-called deal and pretty much loathe her now (I know there are 650 MPs all told but the 7 Sinn Fein ones do not turn up). And despite all those Conservatives who voted against her tonight, this is the woman who started the last general election campaign with a 20% lead and finished it with a 2% one and no majority any more. She had the reverse of the Midas touch.It is all a horrible mess!

The tide seems to be against the Tories, though. Maybe she weakens them by staying in power, but I think if Labour wins a majority of seats and Corbyn becomes PM we're going to see London look a lot like Paris.

I didn't know that either (although I haven't been paying any attention anyway) and had wrongly believed that by "non-confidence vote" it meant what it's usually used for here. That's a full vote in the lower House of Commons over a government bill (often budget related or a major party platform plank) and if the government loses it, there's either an election over the issue; or the main Opposition party is given a chance to form its own government and if they can't, then there's an election over the issue that was represented in the failed government bill.

That's the point. She may survive as leader for now, but that doesn't mean she gets her way on Brexit.
The 117 hardline Brexiteers will vote against her deal because it's too soft and concedes too much -- and the entire Labor Party will vote against it because it's too harsh -- i.e. they want no Brexit at all.
Combine these two camps, and there are more than enough votes to defeat her plan. (Even though they each oppose it for opposite reasons.)
So, we're STILL at a stalemate. And now that she's "safe" in her position as leader, and yet can't lead enough people to win any Brexit vote, the nation of Great Britain pretty much has come to a shuddering halt - -no way forward, no way back.

The Queen treads very lightly on political matters, to avoid provoking a constitutional crisis. (The UK doesn't have a written constitution, but considers its constitution to be a matter of understanding and custom.)
Effectively the deal (as with I think all constitutional monarchies) is that the monarch is the head of state (i.e., in charge of cutting ribbons, etc.) while leaving the politics to the head of government. The monarch only steps in in dire times, and to resolve intractable disputes . In essence the monarch is kind of like the VP here presiding over Senate proceedings.

Yep. One problem with a parliamentary system is that it is too responsive to issues, making it often unstable. Britain doesn't have this problem, largely out of respect for tradition and precedent, but Italy shows the problem handily.
Another problem with the parliamentary system is that it tends to give exceptional power to fringe parties when no major party has enough seats to form a government. A miniscule fringe party then has enormous leverage over the policies of whichever party they ally themselves with in a coalition government.

But the Prime Minister does still need the Queens OK on everything they do, and the Prime Minister legally works for the Queen.
Just because Elizabeth does not use that power, because she abstains, does not mean the Legal Power does not exist.

The thing they have to prove is that this was done for the purposes of influencing an election, rather than the many other reasons someone would pay off what is essentially a blackmailer -- to spare a repuation, to avoid divorce and hurting the wife, etc.

I'm reading the laws and regulations right now but "influencing" language seems to be what defines an organization not an activity. A PAC is an org to influence, get it? I'm trying to figure out this expenses thing but it's things like
1. polling
2. transpo
3. ads

England -- The main central portion of the island known as "Britain." Other areas on Britain (clockwise around the edges) are Cornwall, Wales, and Scotland. Long ago, England, when it was a standalone separate nation, militarily defeated the other nations on Britain, and so became the dominant player on the island -- hence, "England" often gets conflated with the name of the island itself. But England is actually just a political division on Britain.
Britain -- That distinctively shaped island north of France. "Britain" is merely a geographical name, not a political entity. On the island of Britain are three surviving sub-states -- England, Wales, and Scotland. (The other ones long ago were subsumed or disappeared.)
Great Britain -- The official name of the nation as a whole, which includes all the sub-nations on Britain (England, Wales, Scotland), as well all all the surrounding territories on nearby islands politically incorporated into the overarching nation-state (including Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, etc.).
United Kingdom -- Everything that's in Great Britain, plus all their overseas territories, such as Gibraltar, The Falklands, etc. etc.
The Commonwealth -- everything in the Untied Kingdom, plus most of the former colonies in the (now defunct) British Empire (Jamaica, etc.).

It's a teensy tiny bit more recent than that. King George III (yes, THAT King George III) apparently had issues with Parliament. From what I've heard, his father and grandfather were quite happy to ignore the British Isles, and focus on their homeland in Hanover. That gave Parliament a more or less free reign in the Isles. George III had slightly different priorities, and constantly butted heads with Parliament. His solution was apparently to engage in things such as buying up rotten boroughs (representation in Parliament was based on land area - or boroughs , and not people; and that meant that if the borough was, say, underwater, or a grand total of five people lived in it, then it could likely be purchased for a song, giving the King control over that particular Parliamentary seat) instead of attempting to forcibly take power back for the throne.
He presumably would have used his votes in Parliament to restore power to the throne, but Parliament was able to enact needed reforms to undercut his powerbase before he could get far enough along with his plans.

has been the bedrock of the British legislative constitution. The
statutes passed by Parliament are the supreme and final source of law in

The above vote was a vote as to whether the Tory parliamentary representatives wanted May to continue as their party leader/Prime Minister. Sort of like if the Republicans or Democrats in Congress were voting to change their leaders - which is why only Tory members voted. In either case, the ruling governmental coalition would have remained in place.
This is very different than a parliamentary vote on a motion of no confidence, which involves a vote of all members of the House of Commons that determines whether the current government stays in power vs. dissolving the government and requiring a snap election to elect a new parliament.
