DEMOCRACY or HYPOCRISY Proroguing Parliament

On 18th July 2019 a vote took place to stop the suspension of Parliament - and themselves – to allow a Prime Minister to dictate whatever he likes without the democratic controls and scrutiny of MPs and parliament.

Philip Dunne MP voted to support proroguing parliament – hypocrisy of the first order.

A history lesson for the current Government, Johnson, Hunt and Dunne ………. anyone voting for these people and be deluded enough to imagine that these people would support UK democracy in the future.

Charles 1st prorogued parliament and was accused of treason against England by using his power to pursue his personal interest rather than the good of the country.

Charles lost his head on Tuesday, 30 January 1649.

In the past Mr Dunne has waxed lyrical about democracy remembering on “50th anniversary of the death of Winston Churchill, we were reminded of one of the greatest Parliamentary defenders of freedom and democracy”

More recently on Brexit stating his support for Mrs May's deal:

“I find it extraordinary that colleagues across the House refer to “Project Fear” or scaremongering when any business raises its head and says, “This is going to be damaging for my business. This is going to lead to job losses in my sector.” I sit on the Environmental Audit Committee, which heard yesterday from the chemicals industry, and the reality is that many Members have heard evidence given to multiple Select Committees that the complexities of seeking to continue to trade in a no-deal environment are such that many businesses in the chemicals sector, the pharmaceutical industry, the automotive industry and the financial services industry—many of the sectors that we rely on for the large majority of jobs in this country—would come under significant pressure in the event that we crash out with no deal.

"That would happen whatever colleagues might think.

"I am thinking in particular of the largest employers in my constituency that I know best. My constituency is in the west midlands, so many are heavily involved in the automotive and manufacturing sectors. Grainger & Worrall is the largest employer in Bridgnorth alongside Bridgnorth Aluminium. The McConnel agricultural machinery business is the largest employer in Ludlow. Britpart, which is a motor manufacturer, is the largest employer in Craven Arms. There are companies engaged in food production and agri-products, such as Euro Quality Lambs in Craven Arms. All those companies are worried about what would happen to their business in the event of no deal and all are pressing us to negotiate a deal to allow frictionless trade”

How strange then that now Mr Dunne would support Proroguing Parliament in order to push through a no deal Brexit?
