I really hope he is that stupid and arrogant. It would be nice to get our country back. | |

I think it basically means that for a brief period Prime Minister Johnson will become President Johnson and just do as he likes, bit like he is already doing. | | | |

Boris Johnson's Cabinet (as effectively a quorum of the Privy Council) is asking the Queen to suspend the sitting of Parliament for a time, presumably until after October 31st. Would prevent MPs attempting to block or delay a No Deal Brexit through votes in the Commons. As far as I can remember, nobody has tried to do that since the 17th century. | |

The party will probably split. There are plenty of Conservatives with enough respect for the House not to want to be part of that. | |

Thanks. This should be interesting. Can't see it working without being challenged. Also, can the Queen just refuse to do it? "feck awf Boris!" | |

Good point, she should say "go away, I am on holiday". | | | |

It was actually Charles II who last did it, I believe. It worked for him because, in the aftermath of the Civil War and the Commonwealth, there was strong public feeling in his favour. Johnson is dealing with a divided country and trying to push through a minority policy (No Deal, as opposed to Brexit as a whole). But you're right, it didn't go so well for Charles' father. | |

Yes, I was only thinking in terms of the first Charles. | | | |

It puts the Queen in a very awkward position, as the Privy Council are effectively her legal and constitutional advisors. Very difficult to refuse what they are suggesting. She could, possibly, convene a meeting of the entire Privy Council, a much larger body of some 650 members (including senior Opposition MPs). | |

Absolutely. In fact there needs to be civil disobedience on a massive scale. I fear this country in general is far too passive for that though. | |

I'm going to get some like minded people together and head down to London whenever anything is happening. It needs to be on a big, visible scale. We can't just let this happen. | |

I don’t throw that word around lightly, but bypassing our sovereign parliament to get through what he wants is quite literally the definition of fascism. It’s dictator-Esque stuff. | |
