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.
Hes not hard on himself he just respects the standards and integrity of parliament a lot. I’ve met a couple people like these, mostly politicians and lawmakers, they take rules very seriously.
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.
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*
It’s too bad I’m American and have no real context of this situation. It does make sense that this is just a way to avoid a inconvenient question on his part. He probably figured people wouldn’t want him to resign due to such a frivolous offense. But that it would be dramatic enough to deflect from the question.
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.

But it's still even funnier when they "debate" and stuff. The whole parliament is a joke.
Meanwhile in our parliament, one third of the seats are occupied, one person goes up infront to talk, everybody else is dead silent, it's really awkward and boring.
I love UK politics
Have you heard the sounds they make during debates?
Pwwkkdkd Eiokccmm lol no but I’d imagine it involves air exiting the mouth with no voice, like some one with Parkinson’s trying to blow up an inner tube
The level of britishness here is unfathomable lol
Indeed, absolutely insurmountable

Dude is late and still holds the moral high ground...that’s impressive
Well he was only 1 minute late (no joke)
@@wicrosoft8091 That is the level of courtesy in the House of Lords. They could teach the commons a lesson or several
My gosh! The level of professionalism and respect of this public servant is inspiring.
It can't get more British than this.
Lol most British people are not like him 😆 This is not a British thing!
@@heyoa7714 shhhh
My dad says in England they value punctuality so much more than they do in South East Asian Countries. In South East Asian Countries, you can afford to be lazy, but in England they can be punctual to the minute and they can close the doors when you're a minute late...that's why my dad is on time when he goes to work.
I'm not quite sure they're British. Let me call a buddy of mine and get his opinion.
Rick Harrison what if he had a corgie? what then?
In Italy he certainly would’ve attacked his political opponents “to be early”.

When you are going to be late to school, so you just don't go at all.

Actually I’ve done that before. I used to be so socially embarrassed by coming in late that if I realized I was gonna be late I wouldn’t go.

I wish there would be even ONE person with this amount of integrity in our government.
Fortunately for Hague, the resignation from Lord Bates was rejected by Prime Minister Theresa May, calling his stepping down “unnecessary.”
Bates quit a previous government position in 2016 to walk 3,200 kilometres across South America for charity.
Chad Bates
Thank you for the example of walking 3200 km. Otherwise, I wasn’t sure if this dude was serious.
Couldve taken 69 more steps but no
Guess you could say he was *master* bates

Man: *strikes lottery*
Wife: "you know what? We should retire and tour the world."
Man: "say no more."
Lottery? The man is a lord, he doesn't need a lottery
He win the lottery the day he born.
Later that day...
Wife: Darling, you're 15 minutes late for our date tonight!
Man: I resign from my position as your husband...
For god sake he,s a lord and if he inherited his position which is very likely he can organise lotteries for other unfortunate people because he doesn't need one .
The house of "lords* are just people who are gifted a lordship sometimes ling serving members of parliament,
Not every lord has millions and a castle.
As an American this is eerie. Our members of Congress could miss 2/3 of their voting days and still preach to their constituents about “working” on their behalf.
KiD Music FOR REAL!
Henry Merivale
Well in that case it makes America look even worse when elected officials act on behalf of their donors. Selected officials I can understand being beholden to the royal family and such but if you’re elected you should be serving the citizens.
@@3rdeye931 exactly!
Most of the business of Congress/Parliament that is done before in front of the cameras is for the cameras. They spend most of the time in "debates" that will not persuade their colleagues.
To be fair, Members of Congress can vote from their offices. Not really an option in British Parliament.
Everyone in that room looked like they were gonna cry.
Taxman: Why haven't you paid your taxes?

The labor leader’s response was 100% spot-on and I will to use it the next time a friend apologizes over-profusely.
“An apology is totally sufficient. It was a minor discourtesy of which any of us can be guilty of on occasion.”
1) Don’t pretend it wasn’t a bit annoying. That just makes your friend feel like you don’t trust them with your honest feelings.
2) Be clear it was minor and the relationship is secure.
Why do u assume it has to be a bit annoying when your true feelings dont actually indicate that
House of commons: Public School
House of lords: Private School
Considering public schools are generally the most exclusive, why would that be an analogy for the House of Commons?
They are probably referring to the non-uk term of public school.
Public school: Free school funded and run by the government
Private school: Paid school
@@theajayyy Ah I see, a fair point then.
That’s the same thing
JonatasMonte I think you mean State schools not Public schools. The only difference between a Public and Private school is the makeup of its Governorship.
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.
“Oh there he goes again, being all dramatic”
A British Lord is never late. Nor is he early. He arrives PRECISELY when he means to.
Parliament: Schtewpih fat lord! ‘Ee ruins it!
And he brought the whizpoppers.
Brilliant!
Sounds more like a German Lord, but ok.
With a walking staff and dare I saw a grey clock. Or, was it a white one?
The best thing about this is that this is both sincere and satirical at the same time
"It was a minor discourtesy any of us could be guilty on occasion" In other words, if you quit we all will have to also, because we do it all the time.
Gotta feel bad as the person who was talking to him in the hall and made him late.

Pretty sure you can give up the title of ‘Lord’ can’t you?
Anyone who gives a peership is stupid over 100 grand a year untaxed and you dont have to turn up for work and you get the job for life

@@solarsatan9000 they don't acrually receive a salary its basically like jury duty they just have to attend.
He just wants to leave, that's never a reason to resign
In Japan it would be. Over there if your train is more than 1 minute late they'll give you a slip to give to your employer to explain your tardiness. And you'll need it.

he was actually only 1 minute late
What a man ..a man of great wisdom courtesy integrity respect and loyalty to the house and yet the honesty of such a great man is as he put it .....therfore I shall hand in my resignation. ..
As a Nigerian watching this. I am thoroughly ashamed of my country's parliament

Everyone making jokes about how he just was looking for an excuse maybe that’s true but it sounded sincere af
You think so? The way he kept saying "my place" sounded sarcastic.
I thinks that was the point, like you don’t make up an excuse to skip class to then say sarcastically.
