Parliament suspension illegal..
Re: Parliament suspension illegal..
Only strengthens the Tory and Brexit party win at the next election.
If you think about it remainers that all you wonderfully educated people came out originally to stop this vote as you would have us believe.
And only a small percentage of the street urchins and Orks were able to drag themselves from squalor to get to a polling station then watch the squalor march forward to the next big vote.
Fantastic stuff.

All i'll say to that is that will play very well with some, and appallingly with others.

Re: Parliament suspension illegal..
I have my doubts that Johnson will still be leader of the Tories at the next election. He might be put through a number of wringers when parliament returns - forced to reveal the conversations that led to the prorogation, and possibly forced to account for things he did while mayor. By the time MPs are finished with him, his party might decide he's no longer fit to lead them.Bfcboyo wrote:Only strengthens the Tory and Brexit party win at the next election.

And this all comes down to his decision to roll the dice, and go for broke. What leader would through away his majority in parliament by "sacking" twenty-one MPs from his government? Just a couple of months ago, this would be a kind of academic question to illustrate how parliament works, but now it'll get into pub quizzes twenty years hence.

Re: Parliament suspension illegal..
Don't worry all will be well now. Labour have declined a general election but volunteered to form a coalition government and sit on the fence over Brexit. Hopefully they'll all fall off and break their necks.

Parliament is unknowingly in the checkmate position that Boris wanted.

a possibility now.

Re: Parliament suspension illegal..
Quite simply, “breaking” the law means to act contrary to the law, if something is illegal, it is contrary to the law. ... The “law” is not one single rule, it is a whole body of rules which either prohibit or restrict us from doing certain things, or which make certain other things mandatory.6 Aug 2017

Re: Parliament suspension illegal..
This is all on top of a clueless **** of a PM calling a referendum asking a question that most people on the street didn’t really give a **** about, which since has turned everybody in the country into being an ‘expert’ on something that they now have to give a **** about which then has everybody at each other’s throats for no reason at all.mdd2 wrote:MPs are actually protecting democracy.
Find that hard to follow.
People vote 52% 48% to leave EU.May not like it but that is what happened
Negotiations with EU with one arm tied behind our backs as we say we don't want to leave without a deal.
Negotiated deal turned down three times
Multiple attempts by MPs' to get a consensus of what to do fail
Belatedly we try to negotiate properly by leaving no deal on the table and MPs block it
After 3.5 years of getting nowhere Boris shuts down Parliament by 5 weeks but reality is far less than that due to Party conferences and 11 likely Pro EU but unbiased judges tell him he is not allowed to do it that way as it is stifling Parliament's ability to debate and ask questions of the PM and Ministers.
And in the midst of a Government that has no majority the opposition refuse to settle for dissolution and a General Election.
So we have a totally inept Tory and Labour lot and the bastions of democracy the Liberal Democrats now aka Liberal Non-democrats will simply ignore the 2016 referendum result and revoke Article 50 if they get into power.
Pity the Army is so short of staff we can't have a brief coup and lock up 650 men and women and start again
And for me the worst thing of all is that Boris thought he would get away with shutting Parliament down

I'm not really sure how useful that poll is. I'm assuming it might be made up of, say, 2% agreeing with the decision having read the judgement, the other 98% not having read it and just being told what somebody else thinks it said, or not wanting to read it because there isn't even a dissenting judgement to make them feel better.martin_p wrote:Yougov poll has 49% agreeing with the Supreme Court decision 30% disagreeing.

Re: Parliament suspension illegal..
A lot of disagreements with the judgement I’ve seen on social media have been based on constitutional concepts that don’t exist in law. I don’t see how the judges could have found for the government on this, because governments would use it to get to it of difficulties in the future, and democracy would suffer.timshorts wrote:I'm not really sure how useful that poll is.

You say he's saying what people want to hear, but I would suggest that applies far more to Boris, who is still claiming that we'll leave on October 31st, despite the fact that 'no deal' is now off the table.
Out of interest, which of Corbyn's policies that I've outlined, do you disagree with and why?

Re: Parliament suspension illegal..
they said the length of the perogation was illegal..
otherwise every previous perogation was illegal.. this is because in theory there is no time limit to perogation which is obviously totally unacceptable.
imagine a pm paroging parliament for two years...no written element exists as to the length of perogation..it was always a gentlemanly understanding.
in theory boris can parogue parliament with a justification that satisfies the supreme court.. this therefore puts legals over the executive and potentially creates a precedent...they have actually created a law today that was never previously considered.
the big issue is that they have cited no good reason for the length of perogation..there in is the issue..NO GOOD REASON..
i defy anyone to say that that phrase is entirely subjective and nearly impossible to define going forward

It is not only highly critical of johnson's actions, but summarises:-
a) his failure to deny that the prorogation was made with even a partial intention to frustrate parliamentary scrutiny. He managed to avoid giving evidence to a committee which was seeking clarity on those issues by taking his ball home with him.
b) a failure to produce any documentation which denied that this was the case and perhaps more telling
c) an apparent inability to get ANY civil servant involved with the process to make a statement of truth to support this fiction that the lengthy prorogation period was primarily to "prepare a queen's speech".
So, what we have is a pm not denying that the prorogation was for a bad reason yet failing to provide evidence that it was brought for a good reason.
You'd have thought that even he could have come up with some credible alternative - impending party conferences, maybe.
Lucky John major isn't still an MP. He would no doubt have had the whip removed......
