So Boris Johnson has confirmed he would suspend Parliament to endure the UK would leave the EU, meaning he would undermine and deny the sovereignty of parliament. If he does that then he openly denies democracy.
This is not the silly claim of ‘denying democracy’ levelled at Parliament just because it can’t agree on a plan to deliver what they think the people want, but real denial of democracy by closing down Parliament itself.
The hypocrisy of someone who campaigned for Brexit with claims that it was needed to restore the sovereignty of Parliament being prepared to destroy democracy by doing the exact opposite is breathtaking.
If we have an unelected tyrant in charge (according to Boris' own logic exhibited in comments about Gordon Brown), then mass strikes and protests must surely follow until democracy is restored?
