Re: Except it’s not is it...
"When parliament was proroguated, the Tories/DUP had a slender majority so it was technically the will of parliament and no vote was required."
Errr....no, that's not how that works. You can't just assume what the will of parliament is based on the party allegiance of those in it. Has it escaped your notice that quite significant numbers of those Tory MPs have been voting against the government on a fairly regular basis lately?
In any case - the court addressed this perfectly clearly. Prorogation is done to Parliament, not by Parliament. It doesn't prorogue itself; the monarch prorogues it, based on the advice of the prime minister. Parliament *can't* vote to prorogue itself, that's just not a thing that happens.
