Brilliant flawless mastermind Dominic Cummings triumphs again. Will he ever make any single mistake?
I’m not a disciple of Cummings, but the prorogation strategy would have worked were it not for the legal chicanery that followed it. One could argue that that should have been foreseen, but the law is hardly clear cut on the issue of prorogation - the Court of Session ruled it justiciable and illegal, whereas the High Court’s or Justice and of Northern Ireland ruled it injusticiable, and from there it was punted to the Supreme Court which subsequently ruled as it did. Had there been non prorogation, we would’ve been in exactly the same position as we have been throughout this parliament; an executive unable to government and a legislature unable to make up its mind as to what it wants to do. Prorogation would’ve broken this deadlock and actually allowed the executive to function effectively for once.
