Here is the thing, what Boris is doing now is cynical ... i don't think anyone being honest would disagree with that. It would be undemocratic if Boris had shut parliament down permanently, but he is shutting it down for a very specific interval so although people can be rightly frustrated about it, there isn't a single party in parliament that wouldn't do exactly the same thing if the circumstances they found themselves in justified it.

Over the last 3 years, our entire parliament has been cynical. MP's who were brexiteers voted against the deal, thats cynical

MP's voted to take over the business in parliament, that's cynical. They forced a whole range of different votes, and nothing was approved. That's MP's being cynical

For a year, May was delaying putting the vote to parliament, waiting to the last possible moment for a vote, to try and force a deal upon the nation, that's cynical

May put the same bill to parliament 3 times, to try and force it through, thats cynical

The speaker cherry picked items in a biased way, that's cynical

Corbyn and the labour party have been transparent in their attempts to exploit the situation to try and grab power, thats cynical

So again, i can see why people are frustrated at the cynical action of Boris, but, no-one in parliament over these last 3 years has behaved any differently to him
