If Johnson pulls a stunt like that, his government will last about 5 minutes after Parliament is subsequently reconvened.

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!"

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.

Boris Johnson is a fascist. 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.
