It sounds like he was just looking for an excuse to quit after all.
Pablo Ramos What do you mean, “after all”? As far as I’m aware after his resignation was rejected he continued to serve in the House of Lords.
@@ousarlxsfjsbvbg8588 he managed to leave not so long after this.
Pablo Ramos how did he leave
I'll be your 1k , you earned it !
@@GFLHenryisthebestyoutuberever Not sure if you are from UK in which case you should be more familiar than me with the process. But I believe they aren't allowed to resign so the only way to quit is getting transferred to a dummy crown job that doesn't allow them to be part of the parliament.
Teacher: where’s your homework?
Me: I am deeply ashamed and will offer my resignation from school
Thank you for this. 🤣
The greatest comment ever. Thank you!
or, I'd offer my expulsion.. haha
lol
*Dog*: I'm ashamed that I ate your homework master, here's my resignation.
It has to feel good to say “I’m quitting” and have a room full of people shout “no, don’t!”
Right? To be fair though, would you want someone who has this kind of integrity to leave office, either?
I think that’s the exact reaction he wanted to guilt trip the lady for no reason lol
@@MuzikMann96 this one’s silly so maybe not the best example but it’s the inherent problem with having politicians with integrity, when they leave to maintain it eventually you get politicians who don’t have integrity and won’t leave
Not convinced they were saying no because they wanted him, but because of the contrived justification he gave for it
@@gwarf343 he doesn't fit the definition of a sheep. A sheep stays with its flock which most politicians prefer to do. At least, he's got bollocks to step down unlike Boris and is group of spinless spastics.
you’ve got the house of commons where a man won’t resign over breaking the law and then you’ve got the house of lords where a man resigns over being late 😂
Not to mention the countless MPs that fall asleep
Whats the difference between those two ? What is the purpose of the house of lords ? I thought house of commons was like the parliament of there where the big decisions are made
@@atanasapostolov2731 i don’t really know tbh
@@atanasapostolov2731 house of lords is a consultive body whereas the house of commons have sovereign power. The House of Lords can only reject a bill three times I think (at which point it goes back to The House Of Commons where they can choose to amend items). On the fourth time they have to pass it.
@@atanasapostolov2731 to add to what has already been said, the Lords tend to have a huge amount of experience and (because they're not trying to score points for election) an easier time with avoiding partisan arguments - so part of their role is to read what the commons have passed, spot loopholes and potential for abuse etc and send it back with suggested amendments. Basically it's quality control, and it usually works very well for the day to day stuff. The exceptions get publicised more of course because "everything in Parliament mostly ok today" makes a rubbish headline.
Imagine being the dude that walked in 5 minutes after him 👀

What people don't know about Michael Bates: He's done A LOT of charity work by taking long walks.
Promoting the Olympic Truce, which is meant to be a period during the weeks of the Olympics and Paralympics where athletes are guaranteed safe passage and the idea of world peace (cough cough Russia broke this truce three times in 2008, 2014, and now 2022 respectively), he walked from Olympia in Greece all the way to Westminster before the 2012 Summer Olympics. In 2013 on London 2012's anniversary, he walked from London to Derry to raise for Save the Children in Syria. He raised £50,000/over $65,000 over the course of a month. In 2014, he walked from London to Berlin, helping raise £41,000/over $53,500. In 2015, he walked ANOTHER thousand miles in China from Beijing to Hangzhou for the Red Cross. Finally in 2016, to promote the Olympic Truce like he did for London 2012, he walked from Buenos Aires (2018 Summer Youth Olympics host) to Rio de Janeiro for TWO THOUSAND miles and raised funds for UNICEF. *The dude's a force to be reckoned with, worthy of his title of Lord*

I actually worked with someone like that. He called me in one day to switch so he could come in later and called in another guy to switch so he could leave early.
And for the 3 hrs he worked, he complained about how he didn't want to come in that day.
@@andrewsutherland133 did he take a 1 hour lunch break during his working hours?
@@Jupe367 no he probably would have been fired if he did that
He either takes his job extremely seriously, or extremely not seriously.

He is not taking extremely seriously, if he took then he would have been there on time.

@@04pradeep you win
This man is a force to be reckoned with. The people didn't say "no" when he left because he had kind words, they truly didn't want him to resign because he is a very charitable man who has walked thousands of miles for world peace.
Respect to the man! If we had people in the governments who were as serious as him we wouldve transcended dimensions as humans.
no bruh
Hah, he is obviously not being sincere. He knew they wouldn’t let him resign so he took this opportunity to go from people hating him to make them like him. He knew his job was never at risk and now he doesn’t get punished for being late, he gets praise instead. That’s prime political manipulation.
That was incredibly unnecessary and a very irresponsible act. You just don't give up the opportunity to improve people's lives for a minor discourtesy you've committed. That was nothing more than a childish theatric.
Resignation from that has to be accepted…maybe passed by the house…he knew it’s not gonna happen…so he’s playing it up.
We do. They’re just all in the House of Lords, but people hate them for being unelected despite them having done more for the common person than any career politician.

Not really. British Law only allows MPs and Lords to resign upon death or appointment to office of profit under the crown. It's not even the Prime Minister who approves resignation, it's up to the Chancellor of Exchequer (though the Chancellor does answer to the Prime Minister).
They literally created fictional appointments to allow MPs to resign, but you don't just go to the house and say "I offer my resignation." You apply for an appointment to these fictional offices.
It's just a stunt more than anything.

This used to be British politics less than half a decade ago. Compare this to what's happening now. Truly heartbreaking.
yes it has degraded massivly.
Just take a step back a moment and imagine if every sector of those representing the British public held this level of standards. No party gate, no racism, no bullying, people just wanting what is best for those they represent
then they say that the brits should abolish the House of Lords.
He is trying to deliberately quit his job lol...
He thought he could do it by being too polite, but the other Brits struck down back!
he be like cmon woman just let me leave already
And lose hundreds of thousands of pounds just to sit there and listen? I think not
How else do you quit a job? The act of quiting is, by definition, deliberate?
Yes, that's what resigning means.
Imagine if a US congressperson resigned for skipping a session. We'd have no government left.
I’m ded
It's one of the smallest problems tbh. I always found it amazing that they spend so much of their time on the phone asking for contributions when the people pay them to do due dilligence and research for legislation, and to write law, not to be on the phone with potential donors or voters.
Its also a soul crushing thing to do as any callcenter worker can testify so at least if the people pay them they should demand that their time isn't spent doing something that corrodes the character of a person.
Let some hired goons do the calling but blanket ban on personal involvment.
