Anarchy

[Gonzo]

Apparently we will be without a Prime Minister today, for the short duration between Tony Blair and El Gordo visiting the Queen.

How do you plan to celebrate this brief period of anarchy? I'm going to kick the vending machine and see if any Twixes fall out...

I hope El Gordo doesn't embarass himself at Buckingham Palace like Tony Blair in 'The Queen' (Helen Mirren).

Not having a Prime Minister does not make a bit of difference.

It is the day of a General Election when we don't have a government. That is your day of anarchy.

No prime minister, but that's not anarchy. For those few minutes, the Queen will be directly in charge and don't you forget it. You'll be kneeling on Buckingham Palace carpet, handing back those Twixes with tears in your eyes my boy.

The queen is always in charge. There is no period of anarchy.

Don't forget, as Tony Blair seems to have, that the Prime Minister is an administrator, not a ruler.

Good point. I guess I got carried away by the idea of anarchy.

Did you consider who has their finger on the nuclear button during that period?

Shh! Don't say that out loud.

The Queen again. Or Prince Philip whenever she has to go to the toilet, which fortunately, being the Queen, she never does.
