it is a major test for the ruling conservative party - #Byelections triggered when MPs leave their post between election cycles:
Ex PM #Johnson 'stood down to avoid being suspended over a report that found he misled MPs over #Partygate. #Adams quit after being passed over for a peerage. #Warbuton quit after being investigated over claims of harassment and drug use'.

"I see #liberal #solutions to the rise of #fascism is still "#vote harder"

"to say #hitler came to power in an #election is also very #misleading, especially for #audiences who don’t live under #parliamentary #systems of #governments. he lost the #presidential #election of ‘32. the #nazi party had won a plurality, but lacked a majority. one of #hitlers opponents in the presidential election, paul von #hindenberg, appointed him the #chancellorship. it was after the reichstag fire that hitler convinced hindenberg to pass #laws curtailing #citizens rights, and which it can be said that hitler had come into his #dictatorial power. not by him being elected as supreme #ruler."

#Parliamentary report on #religion and #belief
https://www.ipu.org/resources/publications/reports/2023-05/parliamentary-report-religion-and-belief

Religion and belief play a significant role in our States and societies. Over 100 States refer to #God in their #constitutional or similar instruments, and religion and belief are often present in different branches of #government or are interwoven into a State’s self-understanding.

This is because they will not apply to #parliamentary elections until October this year.

This will be to the advantage of #labour and to the disadvantage of the #LibDems relative to the #Conservatives.

@philip_cardella This looks like a clear example of #autosuppression of voters from ones own electoral base. I spent quite a few years fighting against this practice in my part of #London and by the end both the #parliamentary seat and control of the #localauthority had become #labour! You do not win by ignoring part of your base entirely.

Well! We all thought, perhaps not, that #Tory #Sleaze was on the decline. Headlines this week prove that as long as there is financial gain, anything goes! Is it a case of lining pockets before they lose their #Parliamentary seats at the next #General #Election?
Or am I being too cynical?🙄😁😁

#Corruption embedded into our #parliamentary system and Matt Hancock is the poster boy! Thx Professor Tim :

Just saw #MarkLatham well known #nsw political #cockgoblin and member of Pourlene Hanson's RWNJ #onenation which is #Australia's first fully identified racist #parliamentary #party.

Latham is also reputed to be happy to take a swing at the odd woman including his former wife apparently.

Do you believe that most #tories who won their seat, on the back of #Brexit, now only support the ideology of Brexit, for one reason? That being the holding on to their #parliamentary seat?

RT @matlabkhodja: Today, at the @uwed_uzbekistan first deputy @OSenati met with the Deputy Prime Minister - @MZEZ_RS @tfajon parties discussed the issues of the prospects for the #further development of bilateral #relations, the potential of inter-#parliamentary cooperation & fields of education.

I'm not a fan of #football but I've been watching the proceedings from this #parliamentary #Women and #Equalities Committee meeting on #BBCNews. Shaista Aziz is a brilliant speaker. I hope those in positions of power at all levels within football really hear what she says. Football (and everything else in the world) should be for everyone, not just straight white males. Free of #racism #sexism #homophobia #inequality.

Formal meeting: Sexism and inequality in football

@CarolineLucas and in case anybody wonders what the rate of the #houseoflords + #Parliament aka the #democratic process output in the #UK is, it was 141 #bills in 2019-21, less than 0.5 bill a day (depends on length of #parliamentary session). Nowhere near 16!

@NathanKalmoe Fair, though this wouldn't be happening in an actual #proportionalrepresentation #parliamentary system, where we'd have already figured out a coalition, moved on to new elections, or had rules about a caretaker government in place.

Linz was still right about pretty much everything, & the rest is commentary.

@ChrisMayLA6

#Murdoch did the same shit in #Australia. It went well for him here as well. The Liarberal #liberal party are not likely to be re-elected for a decade. Though it's important to remember all our conservatives are #CockGoblins from the voters to the #parliamentary #party room. #Dumb as #dogshit

And then there was the #USA. Same horse. Same shit.

Labour in UK could put a dog with a string on its collar up as PM and would have a god awful losing unless British voters are dumber than a bucket of nails.

So, a #CONservative MP (Bob Seely) is going to waste precious #Parliamentary time by introducing a bill to remove #HarryAndMeghan 's royal titles!
And he hasn't actually watched #HarryandMeghanonNetflix!! WTAF?!
These people really have no clue about the real issues in the real world!
Who actually cares about whether they have HRH or not?
There are far more important issues to spend parliamentary time on, #CostOfLivingCrisis being the top one!

‘A “#Member of the #government” briefed #false #negative #stories about @MartinLewis to a #newspaper during this summer's #tory #leadership #campaign, the #money #Saving #expert has claimed.

Appearing at a #parliamentary #committee [today 29.11.22] Mr Lewis said an individual supporting one of the campaigns had been "casting #aspersions and making #defamatory comments" about him.’

Simply can’t recommend #Jogging through the #Parliamentary triangle highly enough
