England is not cod-ified.

codified

To codify means to organize and arrange rules, laws, or procedures into a systematic, formal code. Something that is codified has been formally written down, classified, and published so that it is clear, uniform, and easily accessible to the public

OK.

Crack on.

A bad look, but that's still less than the number of convictions racked up by various Reform MP's and candidates to be one.

Less serious too.

Lets have some of these convictions who are members of Reform now Nan ?

At least we have convicted fraudster Louse Haigh as de facto Deputy to keep Mr. No-Mandate in line. 😄

What a time to be alive!

she looks awful a face like a freshly slapped arse

In her current Cabinet Office capacity, she oversees the newly formed Office for the Prime Minister and the Cabinet (OPMC), which manages regional devolution and local economic growth strategies. Due to her past legal record, her initial oversight of the Public Sector Fraud Authority was redirected to Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden

Why was she chosen at all ? Why was somebody else not selected? This labour crowd seem to be struggling to find people worthy of filling these cabinet positions, Just looking at Haigh is enough to tell she's a wrong'un

she must have something on Backdoor Burnham , there's no other explanation

This is going great... commies and climate crazies taking over.

Whether it is a general election, or a byelection, the elected MP has the same mandate. The party or coalition with the most MPs forms the government. The former PM was not elected by the "people', but was selected by his party's delegates. The new PM has been selected in the same way. Nothing has changed except the selection of a new MP.

Labour received 33.7% of the votes in the last election. Hardly, a strong endorsement, nor much of a mandate. However, Labor won a majority of seats and a mandate to govern of 5 years. Nothing has changed. The mandate continues.

The voters made their choice in 2024. Now they must accept the consequences of their poor choice. Next time, people who want to punish a political party will consider that they may instead be punishing themselves. Labour still retains a united and strong core support from the unions, the people who do well from the welfare state, youth and students and the migrant community. They aren't going to resign and give up an opportunity to push their brand of socialism.

13 million oldies far outweigh that lot..and by 2029 will be almost 15 million, and the only parties to say they will keep the triple lock is Libdem and reform...reform should add to their manifesto to bring NPA to 65....be the biggest vote winner on history

You don’t know why she was chosen, so you make something up.

On the upside, you’ll never be short of an explanation for things you don’t understand.

The people choose the party, the party chooses their leader and hence the PM. That's the way our democracy has worked for a very long time. It's not perfect, but to paraphrase Churchhill: ;democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms'.

In Britain we crown the monarch, NOT the PM!

Burnham crowned PM but Britain never got a vote! We want an Election

But but but - that's called "Democracy" in the UK. Really, the commoners don't need a vote or a voice. Their elite masters know what is best for them all.

Exactly, A general election is for a political party, not an individual.

I don't remember the media screaming for an election when, following John Smiths unfortunate passing, Tony Blair took the reins.

A new GE is therefore essential as he has no mandate for his proposed changes!

If people don't like what the party that was elected does, there is always a new GE within 5 years.

You cannot be holding a GE election every time a party goes against what they claimed they would do, or nothing at all would get done.

At least the nothing at all route might be the least dangerous.

For all those insisting there should be a general election because there's been a change at the top midway through a mandate, how many of you were calling for the same when Tory after Tory PM stepped down in recent years and was replaced w/o an election? It was a bloody revolving door..

A dangerous comment with the way of the world.

Parliamentary Sovereignty means no sitting parliament can tie the hands of a future parliament.

Unfortunately it works both ways, even the good can be undone, all about perspective.

The grievance mongering plays well to those who don’t understand how their own democracy works or otherwise pretend they don’t know.

True. What I would call for is system change, to avoid the frequent or manipulated passing on of power.

Okay, but how? It's a Parliamentary democracy and that's how it works in all of them that I'm aware. The only way a Parliament can be disolved and an election called, is if the governing party decides to do so. Or if the opposition gets enough votes on a budget bill (a 'no confidence vote') and the governing party loses the vote. Automatically triggers dissolution and an elecction.

You think the governing party should create a shortlist of party leaders and have a general election on which one gets chosen by the public when the leader loses confidence of his governing party?

It means he has to be careful what he does, or at the next election the opposition will advocate changing direction. Then they win and find reasons not to meet the manifesto, public opinion forces another leader and the cycle continues.

Since 1970 only 5 out of 13 PMs have had over a parliamentary term in office, tells a story.

Not especially. I was meaning a change in the constitutional rules and regulations pertaining to the election of any PM, or any intermediate and subsequent changes of PM that follow but that occur without another general election .
