Re: Damning...
While I do not believe prorogation was the democratic way forward, the precedent of involving the legal system to resolve a constitutional matter will likely cause issues in the future as the Government no longer has the final say if a (private) legal challenge is brought and successfully argued in court.
Methinks you do not fully understand ... the Government has the final say, but the way the Government behaves -- the way it conducts its business -- is constrained by the legal framework within which it operates, which is intended to ensure that Democracy is respected.
The courts can't tell the Government that it has the wrong policies, only that it is trying to enact those policies in a way that is not supported by the Law.
My worry, here, is that a future government might attempt to reduce the power of the Courts, which would have grave implications for democracy.
