"Suspend Parliament" How Will the Supreme Court Rule ?

Indications are that they will rule that Johnson acted unlawfully. They talked in detail about remedy and commentators have taken that as an important indicator of outcome.

Have to say I'm surprised if that is the case.
Remedy? You really need a written constitution for a start.
Then changes to it can go to referendum, where precise wording and meaning would be put to you before voting.
What that would do to your notion of a parliamentary democracy, I don't know, but the state of your parliamentary democracy right now is the reason you are in the supreme court at the moment.

It will be very interesting to see what they decide. Agree about the state of parliament btw.

Should probably hang him anyway. For the price of 10ft of rope, why take the risk?

The thought that occurred to me is that if Boris decided to dissolve parliament and rule without, like Charles I all those years ago, that WOULD be justiciable despite the concession that dissolution is not.

We live in interesting, if rather frightening, times.

I have posted the last few weeks that I fear we may slide into despotism and the thing is the extreme Brexit loons would probably be quite happy with that as long as we left. I am not sure they would even see the irony in that.

It is indeed frightening times mate, Brexit has become all consuming and nothing, not even our democracy, must stand in the way of leaving.
