Basically the Prime Minister is entitled to suspend Parliament in order to get important business done if required. It's often seen as undemocratic because the elected MPs aren't able to comment/object/etc on anything.

However, in this case its been done because of MPs willfully ignoring the fact that the majority of the electorate voted for Brexit and there's usurper MPs trying to block it from happening. The easy option is what he's just done. The Queen has given the nod, so that's that.

What you have now is "remain" voters (or people who didn't vote but would have voted to remain in the EU) crying that it's undemocratic.... the double standards [You must be logged in to view images.

The EU is now playing the victim card, when they have ordered us to pay 39 billion GBP and won't budge on the shit "deal" they've given us...and are threatening us with trade restrictions etc. Funny shit.

She is to follow the advice of her ministers. However parliament are permitted to write her a 'humble appeal', but as she already said yes to prorogue I don't suspect she'd renege on her word.

Is there even such a thing as a rhetorical question?

"I love democracy, I love parliamentary sovereignty, which is why I must suspend it"

Straight from the Palpatine playbook, Mr. Johnson!

He's siding with the 17.4 million Brexit voters, not the MPs trying to overturn the result of a democratic referendum. If it wasn't for those MPs, it'd be business as usual.
