    Default Queen Elizabeth Tells Parliament That Going Thru With BREXIT Is Her “Priority”

    Imagine that, someone more interested in the will of the people! Unlike those who work against those people from the get go.

    --

    Queen Elizabeth Tells Parliament That Going Thru With BREXIT Is Her “Priority”

    Queen Elizabeth II told Parliament that her “priority” is to honor the will of British patriots and go through with leaving the European Union.

    God save the Queen!

    For anyone unsure - The Queens Speech at the state opening of Parliament is written for her, by the executive, she does not have a say in what she is going to say.
    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    I just looked it up, and true it is. She enters and simply reads a speech provided by the government.

    But that changes nothing as to the intent of the left, and the left always ignoring the will of the people.

    Are you familiar enough with British politics to conclude that the Left's agenda-driven obstruction of the Will of the People, substituted brazenly and contemptuously in Parliament on an almost daily basis, is 'par for the course' where the Labour Party is concerned ?

    I'm not following the current shenanigans regarding 'breakneck, 11th hour' negotiations with the EU particularly closely. There doesn't seem to be a lot of point to it. If, in fact, Boris's people DO have a deal to present to Parliament days from now, Labour's voting down of it is assured (regardless of what that deal says). Then, again, it'll all be up to the numbers game as to who and what rebels will decide to vote on, as to what'll actually transpire.

    The Left are wreckers. Vandals. Parliamentary, control-freak trash .. who'll disregard anything The People want, as it suits them to.

    The one really good aspect to all this is that, come election time, the voting public will make their displeasure known. Oh, yes !!

    Consider even us shoddy Americans supply links to backup what we say, then I don't blame you for expecting to see a link though. It's normal and polite action to provide such.

    Quite.

    Noir was correct. Even so, what will be common knowledge to Brits is likely not to be, to Americans (just as there must be enormous gaps in my knowledge of American political procedures, & suchlike). Noir should've taken that into account when replying.

    Are you saying this is not what she wants personally? Would she read it if she didn't agree with it?

    Indeed... just when I think I have the barest grasp on British politics, something like this crops up and I'm completely lost again.

    I kind of assumed that the Queen would have some sort of input in the business of running the government.

    Sorry to disappoint you, NightTrain, but I have to (- basically -) endorse what Noir's telling you on this. The Queen doesn't have the power you've thought she might have had.

    What highly limited power she would have / can ever have, would be grounded entirely in procedural application. Her duties are very clearly and rigidly defined. She cannot be seen to be exercising personal latitude with any of them: her mandatory duty to be overtly politically neutral is, I believe, absolute.

    The Queen does not run our Government. She cannot. What duties she appears to have could be fairly described as 'ceremonial', albeit grounded also in law.

    Yes. She has no choice.
    The Queens speech is a purely ceremonial event in which the executive states it’s intentions, through the Queen.

    If there was a general election and a Remain government was formed then the Queen would be stood in the same spot declaring her first priority would be to stop Brexit.

    (Not that you would know that from the video published by ‘Gateway Pundit’ which was completely misleading.)

There is no respecting the will of the people, only demands of others to them. From lefty leaders down on to the shitheads that follow them. And I wonder why so many in the world have no sense or no idea anymore what self responsibility means. And no self respect in the slightest either.
