Boris Johnston has attacked British democracy. We as Anonymous believe this is an example of what has become of British politics, it is our belief and many other peoples beliefs that no only should he stop this suspension but that he should also be formally removed from post as Prime Minister

@MartinII I don't think we will ever agree on these issues.
To me, what's happening at the moment in the UK, is a sign of a dying democracy. Sending the parliament (= the heart of democracy, the representation of the people, in all their diversity) into vacations, prior to the most serious decision of the past four decades, is a sure sign of this. I do understand why the millionaires and billionaires want [u]their[/u] country back. What I do not understand is the enthusiasm of the victims.
@helenS The point is that the decision has already been made, by democratic means. First, Parliament chose to cede its powers to the people in a referendum which, while legally speaking only consultative, everyone agreed should be treated as binding. Second, the people voted to leave the EU. Third, Parliament chose to invoke Article 50, which provides for exit from the EU at the end of two years, by agreement if one has been reached, otherwise without agreement. No decisions remain to be taken, unless a new deal is reached, in which case Parliament will be invited to endorse it. So there is nothing undemocratic about the government鈥檚 decision to prorogue Parliament (which of course happens every year, though usually not so early or for so long). On the contrary, the decision is intended to reduce Parliament鈥檚 ability to frustrate the implementation of previously taken democratic decisions. Whether it succeeds or not, of course, remains to be seen.
