Do you want another 9/11?

Even if they don't, it feels like it would help them...

Similar interface, different values. Not to say that the one in the article isn't absolutely egregious as well though, so my point only really matters if you care about OP's image specifically.

Legally, the King can exercise the royal prerogative unilaterally. However, it's widely thought that if he ever did so, Parliament would act quickly to remove the last of that power, so it's exercised on the advice of the Prime Minister as a matter of convention.

ETA: Apparently, it's debatable whether this also applies to dissolving Parliament, even though that's a prerogative power. See this article on the Royal Prerogative in the UK

Not only that, but unless the vacant sheets are filled soon, the justices have to vote unanimously for the impeachment, as it must be two thirds of the seats, not the justices, that need to vote to convict. As there are only six justices out of nine, one dissenting judge is enough to reinstate Yoon.

Whatever is in the background looks like they have a nice arse

I'm not a trans person, but I'm pretty sure that "assigned X at birth" refers to whatever gender is assigned on one's birth certificate.

Dude... That's so depressing to read, I'm so sorry. I'm sure it wouldn't help, and I'm pretty certain I can guess the answer, but did you ever tell your mum when you were older? Are you still in contact with her? Can't blame you if you're not, I probably would go NC myself.

Here's the update for convenience

Also from the UK (also Manchester actually, literally on the Metrolink right now). I also have no idea what that person said.

In the UK, generally chosen by party membership. There's been some experiments with open primaries, but nothing really substantial.

It's probably worth mentioning that, because the timings of our elections are generally left to the whim of the Prime Minister, candidates are normally elected by the party way in advance so they're ready just in case anything happens. Our election cycles also usually last only six weeks, which isn't enough time to run an internal election and then campaign.
