To post the link - Do not prorogue Parliament

[Timbuktwo]

If you want to save democracy in the UK, please sign this petition.

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/269157

Signed and it's already up to 1,045,396 in just a few hours.

Fascinating to look at the map. My constituency is well up on signatures

Signed. As our elected representatives are being sidelined, a petition is one of the few ways we have left to make our voices heard.

YANBU

I'm doing another link Timbuktwo because your link is your thank you for signing.

YANBU.

It’s a fucking outrageous disgrace, and the vile toad must not be allowed to get away with it.

Not in my name.

Signed, another couple of thousand in the last few minutes!

I can only assume that you all have wonderful solutions to the problem that has existed since a slight majority voted to leave the EU. I'm sure that any intelligent input would be welcomed or shall we shilly-shally for another three years?

OP, you might want to ask MNHQ to update your post with the correct link. I’ve used Roussette’s.

LadyRannaldini it’s Boris who is paid to come up with a solution that doesn’t involve chucking our democracy down the shitter, not me.

I've signed it but honestly..... nobody cares!! I feel at a bit of a loss, I've signed 3 different petitions today and emailed my MP but I just don't think anybody cares.

Signed. But petitions and protests don't make a difference.

We are being lied to about this.

Please note 'a slight majority.' That's what matters.

There is an opposition for a reason, it's democracy. Shutting down their voice for 5 weeks by shutting down parliament is abhorrent, however long they take to debate the biggest decision in probably a century or more.

Do not sign, it's a waste of time.

What is wrong with all you remainders?

I just want an end to this. I won't be signing.

*Do not sign, it's a waste of time.

What BS. So there is something wrong with 1,190,521* people then... ok got you. If you don't wish to sign, don't.

I've yet to come across a Brexiteer who can explain how normal it is to shut down an elected parliament for five weeks before a momentous event thereby denying democracy. Unprecedented.

(*The number of people as of now who have signed and it's moving fast again this morning)

Apparently its neither illegal nor unprecedented.

And they seemed to have no issues with buggering off on holiday!

There is always a parliamentary recess giving them a holiday but proroguing for this length of time is unprecedented.

"House of Commons Library stats reveal that since 2010, the average prorogation has been eight days long. And that figure has been dragged up by a relatively long 20-day period in 2014, which included the European parliamentary elections and the Whitsun recess.

The same report finds that “in the last 40 years Parliament has never been prorogued for longer than three weeks: in most cases it has been prorogued for only a week or less.”

Never five weeks before a monumental decision. Spin it all you like, just like BoJo is doing, it is unprecedented and that is why there is outrage about this which we have never seen the like of.

Well, he wants Brexit. It's a no brainer.

I’m so confused (and probably missing something because I’m not very clever)
But how can these petitions against suspending parliament be debated when parliament is already suspended?
