If only there were some supra-national entity that could provide those. But that’s just silly.

“Lord of the Flies” was not intended to be a governance guide.
Nor, I believe, was Fukasaku’s “Battle Royale”.
But that’s just me.
@UK - March. Fucking March.

Checks and balances? Aren’t those more of an American obsession?

Boris Johnson said a Queen’s Speech would take place after the suspension, on 14 October, to outline his “very exciting agenda”.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said…when MPs return to the Commons next Tuesday, “the first thing we’ll do is attempt legislation to prevent what [the PM] is doing”, followed by a vote of no confidence “at some point”.
Given the above, would an official ‘no confidence’ vote on the PM pretty much amount to an unofficial ‘no confidence’ vote on the Queen?
Not at all. The way that a No-confidence motion is worded is very specific- it’s “That this House has no confidence in Her Majesty’s Government” . So it’s directed precisely at the government and not at the crown. That’s yet another one of those neat little conventions that the UK has developed to avoid the whole question of the monarch wielding political power.
