You keep going on and on about His Majesty’s Loyal Opposition, and now you’ve singled out the backbenchers? wtf?

I’mma be real with you, this is the 3rd time this has gone over my head.
Well someone doesn’t know their Westminster-style parliamentary conventions!
In the Westminster parliamentary tradition, those MPs who are part of the governing party/coalition sit on the right side of the chamber relative to the speaker and are known as “His Majesty’s Government”. Those MPs who are not part of the governing party/coalition sit on the left side of the chamber and are called “His Majesty’s Loyal Opposition”.
This is the only definition of “left/right” in politics that I’m willing to recognize because the more common one reduces the complexity of political thought to a fucking line and is thus bad and should feel bad.
I’ve been a big World Wars buff since ever, and for the longest time I thought HMS in names of warships was something like Humongous Military Ship. When I found out what the HMS actually stood for, it was like I was born again. I also like how it can be HIS or HER, so they don’t have to rename anything. The empire has always been very progressive.
That’s a way to look at it
