Dissolved parliament

[threaded]

Generalising a lot here but....

Civil servants are basically running the country on autopilot while MP's are campaigning.

Gordon Brown retains executive power on behalf of the soverign, so he can take executive decisions (i.e. day to day decisions) that don't require the consent of parliament

What has been 'lost' is the legislative power - the ability to pass new laws, but this is rarely required in the event of an emergency anyway.

But IIRC every new law this New Lie scumovent has passed has had the ability to add 'Statutory instruments' which they're still pumping out. So losing 'legislative power' is meaningless.

When I hear the phrase "Dissolved Parliament", I get this image of dessicating MPs, grinding them into powder, then adding water. There's probably a homeopathic remedy based on it.
