General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

What do the opposition parties expect, they are going against protocol, in that when a Government cannot function in Parliament due to it losing its majority, the opposition should call for a vote of confidence, which if the Government loses, the Prime Minister will then ask the Monarch to dissolve Parliament, and a General Election will be called, the winner of the election will be invited by the Monarch to form a Government in the Monarchs name, the party which is the runner-up in the General Election, will be invited by the Monarch to be the official opposition in the Monarchs name, and their job is to shadow the Government, which is another way of saying that their job is to keep the Government on its toes.

From what I can see it is the official opposition (Labour) which is not doing its job, because the leader of the opposition is refusing to call for a vote of no confidence in the Government, which is what it should be doing, because the Government in power can no longer do its job, and although these words have not been mentioned yet, a power vacuum has been formed with no effective Government in place in this country at the moment, so in that situation the Monarch can dissolve Parliament and a General Election will take place, that is the protocol ...

Thee are also other protocols in place which if needed, can require the Civil Service to run the country during the time Parliament is dissolved and during the General Election period, and although those protocols exist, I don't think those protocols have ever been used in this country.
