EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

@duncs @JWestland

Grieve on a second prorogation:

I would have thought that any attempt in proroguing parliament following this judgement for anything other than the four or five days to go between one session and another will immediately attract another court application, and this time in view of the supreme court judgment, there will be an immediate order that it is unlawful

It is a constitutional change, but it’s one, it seems to me, that came logically from the role parliament plays in a parliamentary-free democracy.

The idea that you can play fast and loose with parliament, just to nudge it to one side when it’s convenient for the executive to do so, is dead and buried for good.

(On the topic of idiotic Dunning–Kruger speculation in this thread this is what I guessed a few days ago)
