I'm sure Boris and co. would like to think so but the fact is Parliament is pretty evenly split and nobody wants to give an inch, means such a move is unlikely.
This may actually work for a while. Consensus being the key. Forced to work out an answer to a problem rather than eternally argue the merits of one side or another.

@MartinII The Speaker warned Parliament that such a move would be seen to be going against Parliamentary procedure and standards and also warned that any such move would be seen as an attempt to do so.
In other words Johnson was warned before he even became PM.
He has no choice. He has to make an attempt at going through the procedure via the EU.

@Picklebobble2 There’s actually no need to prorogue Parliament - you just let the legislation take its course. And unfortunately the Speaker is not an unbiased actor in this matter.

@MartinII He is merely letting Parliament know the correct procedure and the fact he is aware certain parties may seek to do so.
Same way he had to haul May over the coals over her 'insistence' that she ask the same 'Accept my deal !' question when doing so was against procedure and she needed to 're-word' the question if she were to put it to another Parliamentary vote.

It feels like it. A vociferous and nasty bunch of loud-mouths with an authoritarian manifesto that ignores the wishes of anybody else. Look out for the brownshirts and showers of flags soon.

@kutee Look, sound and act like Tories.

Dictatorships are so efficient.

@FloridaGuy but they are also very strict; if anyone says anything bad or against the movement, they disappear, nothing is said. And those countries always are watching everyone’s every move and listening to every word.

@NestChicken britain will never ahve a dictatorship
FloridaGuy · 46-50, M
You mean never again? I’m sure you see the parallels between monarchy and dictatorship. It’s even officially referred to currently as Her Majesty’s Government. Still enamoured with the old monarchy that much. @kutee

@kutee 800,000 Scots in England - 5 million in Scotland. 500,000 English live in Scotland (10% of Scottish population); Northern Ireland has more emigrants in Scotland than in England; Wales is crammed with emigrant English.

@ThatMusgraveWoman oh come on, 50 million people live in england inlondon oyu cant move for people,in glasgow oyu can cross the road without looking
ThatMusgraveWoman · 70-79, F
@kutee I think it's more like 60 million in England than 50 million. Could you explain the relevance (and meaning) of your post?
MartinII · 70-79, M
No, whatever makes you think that?
