Trudeau is also a Mic but their is no way he would ever try and take away any woman's rights.

I think we're just days, possibly hours, away from Boris Johnson resigning as Prime Minister. There seems to be a concerted campaign by his Cabinet of one by one resignations putting pressure on him to resign too.

If he does it doesn't mean we'll have a new PM immediately, he'll stay on as PM until a Conservative Party leadership contest is held, once a winner is announced Boris will resign and the new leader will take over as PM. It'll take about a month to six weeks before that happens, so by mid August we could have a new Prime Minister.  

What if the woman is unvaccinated? Can she still get across the border?

Actually I'm not sure to be honest Tommy. The virus is pretty well gone here and everything is back to normal. I am going in for corrective surgery in September and I have to have a covid test done no earlier that 24 hours in advance of my surgery, so I would say yes a woman would have to be vaccinated or at least test negative no sooner that 24 hours before her surgery. Went to the drugstore last week and had my fourth shot. I only cried a little bit until they gave me a happy face sticker to shut me up.

Corrective surgery? Great, maybe you'll come out a conservative?

There sure is a right to have an abortion because a woman's body is her own. It would be like saying you can't have sex with a woman unless you ask you State Government first, can you. No Federal or State court should have anything to do with a woman's right when it comes to her own body. No court ever says they can't disfigure their body with having too many piercing or tattoos because their bodies are their own. 

An abortion is between a woman and her doctor and no one else including the State.

Best to get rid of all your black guns now then and just keep the shinny ones.

The Supreme right winged Court also make it legal to leave your home with your gun in New York State but do you have to keep it in the open or concealed in public. I thought it sounded a bit confusing. Only crooks conceal their guns but if you have it in the open someone might shoot you.

A women's body is her own? Why do they choose to get pregnant and have to kill the baby then? Surely if she's in charge she'll forgo that one?

He survived yesterday, but I don't think he'll survive tonight. 

It's getting ever more farcical, or deadly serious depending on your viewpoint, by the hour. Dozens of Ministerial sackings and resignations but still Boris clings on. There are distinct similarities with Trump here, a narcissist who thinks it's all about him. Saying that "I" won the Election, it's all about me.

As I see it there are two possibilities - if enough MPs refuse to fill the posts vacated in the last two days then he'll have to resign as there will be no functioning administration. The other is the nuclear option - the Queen could sack him. 

Serious stuff this, not what we're used to over here, we expect beleaguered leaders to put up a bit of a forlorn struggle, but not to this extent. Now we know what he's really like, we all knew he was a slippery character, but now he's showing Trump-like signs of derangement.   

Surely by the morning common sense will convince him his time is up?

Boris has accepted the inevitable and resigned. Over here the resignation of the Prime Minister doesn't mean they go immediately. The ruling party has to elect a new leader first, that'll take about two months, then once they have a new leader the former one, who remains as PM for a day or so longer, then goes to the Queen to resign and the new party leader goes in a few minutes later to be sworn in as PM.   

Sometimes there's no need for an election of a new party leader if there's only one candidate, in cases like that the transition of power takes a few days rather than two months.

Some bloke named Nigel & sporting a British accent was explaining the procedure to we colonials. I was still confused, but Mark has explained it much better in the above. Mark, have you ever thought of changing your name to Nigel & going on T.V.?

I always thought of him as a dullard of sorts. Maybe not tho, he got the cash which makes him a supreme capitalist.

The opposition parties want him to go immediately and a caretaker PM take over until a new Conservative leader is elected in September. he/she will then take over from the temporary leader. Utter nonsense of course, what good will it serve if we have a PM in charge for a mere two months who can't do anything other than occupy 10 Downing St for the summer. It's just petty vindictiveness from the opposition. 

The only time in which a new PM can be appointed immediately, other than after an Election victory, is if the incumbent dies then a previously nominated deputy takes over, rather like you have in the USA. 

The former Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe has been shot dead whilst on the campaign trail. I can't say I have much liking for the Japanese, but one thing we have to admire is the incredibly low number of gun deaths over there. Eight in 2018, yes a mere eight, the USA has that many every hour!

Very true Mark, & you can thank your lucky stars for that. See Lend Lease which saved you & yours in WWII. 

It looks like we'll have a new PM by 5 September, we can put up with Boris squatting in No 10 until then.

Boris was kinda "Trump Like" in many ways. We got Biden as a replacement............any predictions for the U.K.?

The favourite is Rishi Sunak Boris' Chancellor of the Exchequer, a good finance man in times when money is tight. But he's in favour of higher taxes while the financial crisis lasts which is rather un-Conservative. Others will campaign on a platform of lower taxes to stimulate growth, which will be more attractive to the 180,000 Conservative Party members who'll have the final say. 

The way it works is this - Any MP wishing to stand will have to find a certain number of fellow MPs as backers by a set date. Those who can will be voted on by their fellow MPs over a series of votes at the Houses of Parliament in which the one with the least votes is eliminated until only two remain. This will take about two weeks to resolve. Then the final two will go out among the Conservative Party members nationwide canvassing their support, rather like your Primaries. This will also take 2-3 weeks, then a postal ballot will take place in late August/early September in which all 180,000 members can vote. The winner will be declared and take office as Conservative Party leader whereupon they will then proceed to Buckingham Palace to be sworn in as Prime Minister.

Rishi Sunak? OMG not very "Anglo" sounding name eh? Where are your Nigels, Winstons, Percivals? If the Rishis of world are your future you are doomed. Like us destined for the dustbin of history.
