Re: What is prorogation and why is Boris Johnson using it? (UK the Florida man of Democracy?) - Ca Bob - 08-28-2019 I recently read Winston Churchill's History of the English Speaking Peoples. In the old days, English kings could cancel Parliament simply by saying so. Kings also called for a Parliament, which involved lots of things, but nothing like elections in which all adults get to vote. They've been avoiding calling another referendum to give the voters a chance to change their minds. Re: What is prorogation and why is Boris Johnson using it?
