I think the issue of when the Prime Minister should ask for prorogation, the nature of the request, if he has the confidence of the House, is really a judgment for the Prime Minister to make. But it will have real consequences, and this most recent request has had very real consequences. Indeed, there was a demonstration at my university, as amazing as you might think, of students against prorogation. When one of the ministers of the government came to hand out a cheque, there was a demonstration about prorogation. It was the most amazing thing you could imagine. Prior to December 2008, no one would have even known what prorogation was.
So I think there are real consequences, and I think we should recognize that and not try to remedy this particular situation through some rules that may have these unusual consequences.
