Suspended!

[pyat]

The Governor General decided to suspend Parliament till January, so that the PM can try with a new budget. BOO! BOO! Down with outmoded royalist trappings! Death to the Aristos! Treason! Riot! Revolt! Anti-democracy! Everyone storm the Winter Palace and stand about on tables, waving bits of paper! Down with the GG!

Effectively? The PM can ask for the suspension of Parliament at any time. Traditionally, this is done once the "business of government" is complete, allowing them their long breaks time with their constituents.

Even in abnormal circumstances, like the current ones, the PM can ask. but he's supposed to have an actual reason. Parliament shouldn't be prorogued for flippant reasons.

That's it, it's his reason that pisses me off. And that she accepted that as a reason to prorogue. Avoiding a no-confidence vote.

I don't know if I spelled prorogue right, but it is a fancy new word I picked up yesterday.
