About Parliament


Parliament was an American funk band formed in the late 1960s by George Clinton as part of his Parliament-Funkadelic collective. More commercial and less rock-oriented than its sister act Funkadelic, Parliament drew on science-fiction and outlandish theatrics in their work.

General election 2019: World media weigh the price of Johnson's win

Sep 19,2023 12:21 am

The triumph of Boris Johnson in the UK general election and His mandate to "get Brexit done" are indisputable to pundits around The World , But hard questions continue about the benefits of Britain leaving the EU, as Well as Mr Johnson's ability to deliver Brexit to deadline and His character.

'Boris is unstoppable now'

"" is how the New York Times describes it. "" says the Washington Post.

Russia's NTV channel puts it down to "The Magic of the simple and annoying slogan".

His gamble on a snap election resulted in " for The Party and a personal triumph", says Canada's Globe and Mail.

"," agrees France's Le Monde .

"Boris is unstoppable now," says a correspondent for Russia's NTV Mir channel

But some compliments are backhanded.

This story of " [is] one about a party leader, derided as a charlatan and famous for His fondness for half-truths, who nonetheless was able to win The Trust of millions," says a commentary on Australia's national broadcaster ABC.

"The seemingly Teflon-coated despite - or possibly due to - His capacity for attracting attention," says the Irish Independent .

Greater certainty over Brexit?

Mr Johnson's greater majority means "he will be able to pass His withdrawal agreement through Parliament . . Without difficulty, of halting Britain's departure from the EU", says the Irish Times.

It "", says the Dutch financial paper Het Financieele Dagblad. "The Prime Minister will be less dependent on the hard Brexiteers in His party, which could simplify negotiations. "

But the consequences of Mr Johnson's plans to leave the EU continue to focus minds, not least given the increased support for the Scottish Nationalist Party.

"Openness to the outside world made modern Britain what it is Today . ," says Sweden's Dagens Nyheter .

"" asks Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. "Calm is not expected in the United Kingdom . Its decay could be The Price of Brexit in the long term. "

Iran's news site Jamaran sees a "" and Sweden's Aftonbladet says a "real cloud of worry" for Mr Johnson will be, with Scotland likely to have a second independence referendum.

Mr Johnson's opponent Jeremy Corbyn was "disastrous" says this Swedish paper

There are also broader questions over whether the political system in the UK can deal with an issue as divisive as Brexit.

Rethinking politics

"Many see [Mr Johnson's] hostile and belligerent treatment of Parliament during His first two months as a Presage . . and promote a definitive 'take-off' from Europe, turning British society towards The American model (After All , he was born in New York )," says Spain's El Mundo.

But blame for division is not laid entirely at the government's feet.

"A system of government in which The Winners take all is in a permanent state of political Civil War , or it becomes a dictatorship. So, ," a commentary in the Dutch daily NRC Handelsblad notes. "If not, these elections will not stop the political decay. "

"The election result is important But it is only one of The Elements of a more fundamental Process - and British identity itself," says Russia's financial daily Kommersant. "New conditions will require New Faces in politics, New Party approaches and, possibly, new rules of The Game , as Well . "

China's Global Times thinks it may already be Too Late .

"Brexit shows the defect in the UK's political system," The Paper says. ". . The time when The Sun never set on the British Empire has long Passed . "

This feeling is perhaps less the case in Bangladesh, where the media has highlighted Brits of Bangladeshi origin who have won seats in the election, including Tulip Siddiq , the granddaughter of Bangladesh's first Prime Minister , Sheikh Mujibur Rahman .

Prothom Alo hails "Tulip's extraordinary victory" in Hampstead and Kilburn
