UK brehs, why is it that your PMs all resign? Ours would never, the only way to change an Australian PM outside of an election is either for him/her to drown while out for an ocean swim (Harold H0lt, 1967), or for a leadership spill (what we call a party room vote by all the MPs belonging to the ruling party) to take place.

But you've had four in a row now voluntarily quit. I can't understand why. Stay in the job until the party throws you out and you go with some dignity intact. When you resign you admit you fukked up. But if you push it to a leadership spill, then at least you can spin the narrative of being stabbed in the back by your ungrateful, greedy friends. You go out like you're Caesar or something.

Yeah the Tory 1922 committee is no joke.

I bet she probably quietly negotiated to have her pension guaranteed

Resigning is the same as being fired for UK politicians

Incredible :russ:

Like Cincinnatus...

www.theguardian.com

Boris Johnson likens himself to Roman who returned as dictator

Departing PM references Cincinnatus, who turned to farming after leaving Rome – but then returned to power
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

So we really just have to sit here and bear this nonsense until their time runs out? Some democracy lol

inews.co.uk

If the King can dissolve parliament and how an early general election could be called

The King technically has the power to dissolve Parliament, but it would not actually happen

Tbf Labour was always going to lose. After the recession the Conservatives had a easy strategy of blaming them for it all and for change

Gordon Brown was very unlucky after being a great Chancellor for over a decade

Word. Gordon Brown's ideas were used by Obama and the US avoided that ideology-driven austerity bullshyt

Labour need to keep their foot on Tory necks for decades to come
