Labor revealed on Tuesday that the Conservative Party had refused to make room in the Parliamentary agenda for the House of Commons to debate and vote on a censure motion made against the UK government and against the outgoing prime minister, Boris Johnson.
According to the BBC, Downing Street has justified its position by saying the requests are against governments rather than individuals – or both.
“The Labor Party has given us the option of submitting an objective vote of censure to the government. The spokesperson for the executive branch clarified that they chose to play political games and submitted a motion of confidence to the government and the prime minister. Tori.
Since the prime minister has already resigned and the process [escolha da nova] Leadership [conservadora] Continuous, we don’t feel it [esta moção] to be a valuable use of Parliamentary time.” Remember that Westminster suspends work on the 21st and goes on vacation until September.
Says conservative What was at stake was, in fact, the choice of words in the text presented by Labour.
Instead of the traditionally worded proposition, that “this Chamber does not trust Her Majesty’s Government”, Labor opted for a slightly different wording: “This Chamber distrusts Her Majesty’s Government while the Honorable Member of Uxbridge and South Ruislip [Johnson] He remains prime minister.”
A Labor spokesman denounced the “absolutely unprecedented” stance of the Conservatives and accused the majority party in parliament “once again to change the rules to protect their suspicious friends”.
All candidates for leadership Tori This blatant abuse of power to protect a discredited prime minister must be denounced,” he criticized.
The Labor initiative was aimed at discussing and voting on the proposal on Wednesday and on the understanding that under the terms of the process for selecting the next leader of the Conservative Party and the UK government, the unveiling of the name of Johnson’s designation successor is only due on 5 September.
Keir Starmer, leader of the Labor Party, argues that “the country needs a fresh start, which will only be possible with a change of government” – that is, with early elections.
“After they finished it [Johnson] Unfit to perform their duties, they [os conservadores] They can’t now stick to it for weeks and weeks and weeks,” he insisted, this Tuesday.
Even if it goes ahead, Labor’s proposal is doomed to fail, with the Conservatives enjoying a comfortable parliamentary majority of 73 MPs in the House of Commons.
