Re: European Second Referendum
Does the phrase " MINORITY GOVERNMENT" conjure up the image of support from a majority of MPs...BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Wed Dec 12, 2018 4:40 pmIt is possible but highly unlikely that the queen could intervene if Brexit hits true deadlock and ask Corbyn to form a minority government.

(very slightly amended from December the something to January the something)...Lost Leopard Spot wrote: ↑Fri Nov 23, 2018 2:05 pmHere is a prediction.
May gets her 585 page legally binding "withdrawal agreement" and her 26 pages of non-legally binding weak, pathetic, agreement to have an agreement documents passed by Europe on Sunday (despite Spain and France throwing tantrums).
Parliament votes on this in December the something. Parliament passes said withdrawal agreement despite all 10 DUP MPs voting against, because Labour MPs roll over and have their bellies tickled and vote it in.
Labour combine with Liberals, SNP, and DUP and vote down all government legislation.
No Confidence vote in May is carried, but necessary number of MPs for general election cannot be found.
Queen invites Jeremy Corbyn to become PM with a minority administration.
Corbyn takes us out of EU on March 29th and immediately sets us on a course to be in a permanent customs union with the EU forevermore...
They may back him on a no confidence motion. At which point if passed there are then 14 for a new government to form that can command the majority of MPs. That would be unlikely/impossible.
So after that Parliament is dissolved and a GE called. There is no vote on an early GE under a motion of no confidence. It happens automatically unless another government can be formed.
You said "no confidence vote is carried". The process from that is 14 days for a majority govt to form and win a vote FAILING that a GE is automatically called.
There is no "minority government on instruction from the queen".information/glossary/motion-of-no-confidence/
Not according to this!
Corbyn still would have to win a parliamentary motion of confidence in any government he tried to form. Which he couldn't!
Anyfxckingway, it's a prediction. It either happens or doesn't, whether in the negative because it's impossible or other events occurred is immaterial, surely? It either happens or it doesn't. And I say it will happen...
However, it is not possible following a no confidence motion for Corbyn to form a minority government in the 14 day window UNLESS it wins support from majority of MPs.

Re: European Second Referendum
If the government of the day is defeated in a vote of no confidence, the Queen can invite Her Loyal Opposition the opportunity to form a government. It's in the constitution, unwritten as it is.

Re: European Second Referendum
If a vote of no confidence is passed by the Commons, there is automatically an election if the House does not pass a motion of confidence in a government (could be the same govt, could be a diff Tory govt, could be a completely different, possibly Labour, govt) within 14 days. It does not matter what the Queen does. If that motion isn't passed, there is an election.Lost Leopard Spot wrote: ↑Wed Dec 12, 2018 4:51 pmIf the government of the day is defeated in a vote of no confidence, the Queen can invite Her Loyal Opposition the opportunity to form a government.

So Corbyn could form a minority govt, but he'd need to win a vote of confidence in the Commons to do so. It's s2(3)-(5) of the Fixed-term Parliament Act, here.

Re: European Second Referendum
A third of her MPs voted against her. Impossible to get a deal through Parliament now you’d think. I wonder if some might suggest she resigns to make getting some sort of deal through easier. Clear that some in her party will just vote against it to get rid of her.Harry Genshaw wrote: ↑Wed Dec 12, 2018 10:46 pmWell she won but not by as large a majority as I expected.

So the pro EU wing think the Brexiteers should accept the result of the vote? Talk about two faced, shame they didn't in the first instance, you know, the referendum.

As for cross-party collaboration McDonnell was on radio 4 this morning calling for exactly that. Saying that she could get the Brexit model Labour propose through parliament if she works with them. So I'm not really sure you are on the money there. McDonnell has been calling for co-operation for a while - May doesn't even co-operate with her own cabinet though so I think any wider move is doubtful. Brexit is entirely down to unelected Olly Robbins it seems!
Re: European Second Referendum
If you watched Old Mac you could see quite clearly he was just saying what he had to so he seemed moderate and fair, the general election was his main point.
BTW it's Oily Robbins or Castrol has his mates know him.

May will be leader of the Tories (unless she resigns, or dies in the meantime) for the next 12 months. We can all accept that...

So, you are talking, as you quite often do, utter fxcking nonsense.
There are 14 days for a government to try and form. That government HAS to pass a commons motion of confidence. So IF Corbyn wanted to form a government HE has to secure majority support from MPs in the house. It is clearly laid out in the link Pru has provided and the previous one I provided. He can run a minority government IF the majority of MPs vote that government to have the house's confidence. Which currently would be impossible to achieve.
You are wrong. We have very clearly outlined the process for how a no confidence motion works.
No confidence. 14 days for a government to form that can PASS A CONFIDENCE motion. If not. General Election.
