Sorry to break the news to you, but we don't live in the USA. We don't elect a Prime Minister, we elect a House of Commons. The Government (ie PM + Cabinet) needs the confidence of the House to form a government; if they lose that confidence, governments (especially minority governments) fall.
If you have a problem with that, you have a problem with the most fundamental elements of our constitution and system of government.

But it's unnecessarily insulting to compare the GPL to representing a "kill your wife/control freak philosophy." Really? Kill your wife?! Yeah, like you've got a monopoly on intelligence or deliberate thought, and people who disagree with you...what? Whether you agree with it or not, believing that it's worthwhile to take steps to *ensure* that what you love *stays* free is a legitimate position that deserves some respect.
The same goes for people who outright dismiss BDS stuff, but really.
Maybe it's just that I must be new here or something.
There's very little chance that there is enough room in his head for both his ego and a single decent intellectual idea.
