@hells-caretaker saidas a non Brit it took me some time to decode PMQ to Prime Minister Questions?
RT News (who may get the sack in broadcasting in the U.K.), Boris versus the opposition (Starmer) - all intriguing, like the phrase "Flip Flop". If only I could walk along a beach shore🤔
@ponderable saidWhy does Germany have a president and chancellor?

I could google it but easier just to ask someone from there! 😉

@ponderable saidI decided to google it.
The president is just a representative (mostly) and the chancellor is the boss of the government.
Under the 1949 constitution (Basic Law) Germany has a parliamentary system of government in which the chancellor (similar to a prime minister or minister president in other parliamentary democracies) is the head of government. ... The president also holds the prerogative to grant pardons on behalf of the federation.

@hells-caretaker saidThe previous leader of the opposition (Jeremy Corbyn) was an antisemetist, a bully and an expert in losing. Watching him contend with the likes of Johnson and May at the despatch boxes was a bit like watching a darts player take on Mike Tyson in the ring.

At least Starmer has some smarts about him if not any policies at this point.

'the likes of Johnson and May' !!!!
Do you have these two rated as erudite, cutting debaters?
@blood-on-the-tracks saidIs your benchmark Corbyn?

Not at all. Just asking why you rate May and Johnson so highly. For what it's worth, I don't think either of them tore Corbyn to pieces in PMQ.
May the worst PM in my lifetime. Boris will probably soon take over that mantle.
@divegeester
Good point. [edit] one for debates, I'll finish my pint & collect my coat.
@blood-on-the-tracks saidI rate pretty much everyone above Jeremy Corbyn. May and Johnson both outgunned him at the despatch box. He was a pitiful debater and hopeless leader who has left his party in the worst condition for over three decades.

Hmmm. That's an interesting stance. Do you have any particular topic on which May and Boris outgunned Corbyn?
Maybe not Mays ill advised election in 2017. Clearly her bettering of Corbyn in PMQ wasn't convincing the electorate.
You are championing 2 chumps
Edit...why would I want to join the Lib Dems? I have not revealed my political standing at all. Merely ridiculed your support of two clowns
