Let's get something clear - Parliament has only been prorogued for an extra 4 or 5 days as the suspension was due to take place anyway. (Tue 17-Sep-19 13:15:40)
Why do people who want to leave tell lies, JenniferEccles?
If you had put "as far as I am aware" or "I thought", it would be fine, but no you believe your version is a fact without even checking out whether it is or it isn't because, of course, leavers know so much more than the experts.
Over the period of the conferences, Parliament usually goes into recess. It is not prorogued. Parliament has control while it is in recess. Some business continues while it is in recess. Parliament could be recalled while it is in recess.
By making the whole five weeks the period when Parliament was prorogued Johnson took away the power of parliament. As the man said in the court case today, the executive (the government) is the junior partner in parliament; parliament (the MPs) is the senior partner. Basically, Johnson has taken power he should not have from parliament by devious means. You are right it is not a coup, but it is overreaching of the powers of the Prime Minister. It is sly, it is lying and it is underhand. All the things I am beginning to associate with leavers of the Johnson ilk.
