Indeed. It's important to also remember that this isn't the first election in which the NLs and Tories have fought as an alliance. To break such an alliance within the next parliament would be damaging and reek of sheer opportunism; to do so now might well destroy the party.

That is why I assume Antonine want it - to crush the national liberals and secur the position for the Liberals. Only scenari I can imagine this happening in is if the National-Liberals split or they end their alliances and the two blocks ally independently with each party - which would mean the destuction of the party.

((None. The Queen has power over them as their Head of State (represented by a Governor-General whom she appoints) and can, in theory, dismiss the government and dissolve parliament but the British Government has no say over how she uses those powers as they are separate sovereign states.))

Honestly, if Cameron wanted to choose all his candidates for the next election he probably could in practice if not in theory, whether he would want to do so is another story. I'm sure its similar in Canada, except that local constituency associations and the media are more accustomed to parties or leaders "fixing" candidates than in Britain.

Strong words coming from a separatist. :)

((In 1954, the British Parliament had the sole power to amend the Canadian constitution, because it was an act of the British parliament, the British North America Act, 1867, and did so on a number of occasions when requested by the Canadian government, I assume Australia and NZ are the same at that time.))

It rarely did so unilaterally without Canadian request, but yes - and it was the same for the other Dominions too. IIRC when an act was written allowing the Parliament of Australia to amend its own constitution, it had to be passed in Australia and Westminster simultaneously because it was not known which parliamentary body had the authority to pass it!

How about NLP staying away from Lib-Tory coalition? They alone would reach strong majority.

That would still be a breach of the alliance.

If I recall correctly, you said that we have to get a free-market with slow steps. How can we do that if we would have no influence in the government and the law making?

Doesn't that involve aggression, force, coercion and violence?

Kind of difficult when it is little support for it in the government and among the people. Until them it would be better to male slow steps toward a liberal society. By that way the people will enjoy more and more liberties and hopefully the liberal cause will grow stronger. But we have no right, and it would be hypocritical, to make a coup and go against the will of the population.
 
Sigh. I guess I'll have to swear off communism to actually see some legitimate socialism in this game. What a downer.

The life of the British citizens and the future of United Kingdom is just a game for Socialists! They think it is all a game and gamble with our future for fun! :eek:

I think you're overestimating how much actually changed as a result of the Glorious Revolution. :p
