O Financial Times sobre a suspensão do parlamento britânico

Boris Johnson’s suspension of parliament is an affront to democracy (Financial Times - artigo aberto a não-assinantes, pelos vistos):

Boris Johnson has detonated a bomb under the constitutional apparatus of the United Kingdom. The prime minister’s request to the Queen to suspend parliament for up to five weeks, ostensibly to prepare a new legislative programme, is without modern precedent. It is an intolerable attempt to silence parliament until it can no longer halt a disastrous crash-out by the UK from the EU on October 31. The seat of British democracy, long admired worldwide, is being denied a say on the most consequential decision facing the country in more than four decades. So, too, are the British people — in whose name Mr Johnson claims to be acting. It is time for parliamentarians to bring down his government in a no-confidence vote, paving the way for an election in which the people can express their will.

Mas suspeito que a parte de levar o parlamento a destituir o governo e realzarem-se novas eleições é o plano dos Conservadores desde o princípio.
