Petitions may have lost some of their weight, in recent years, but this seemed like a necessary one to put my name to. So I did. Perhaps you will consider doing so too.
Petition: Do not prorogue Parliament. If you're a UK citizen (and even if you don't live in the UK) you can sign this attempt to stop a constitutional crisis.
I don’t normally post about politics on twitter. However, I think our elected representatives should be allowed to do their jobs.

Petition: Do not prorogue Parliament
You can show your opposition to Boris Johnson's shameful undemocratic plans to prorogue Parliament by signing this petition, which has just broken 250,000 signatures
Whatever else “Take back control” meant, it surely did not mean a coup d’état to wrest control from parliament and hand it over to a dictator.
Please sign this petition, and encourage others to sign, e.g. by retweeting
Petition now at 1.516m, but it's slowed down. What everyone needs to do is link to the petition at least once a day in their own messages on every social media platform they use. Simples :)

UK citizens seem to agree that we must defend our democracy. Launched today this petition already has close to 200K signatures
Easiest way to express your coup anger? Sign petition. Amazingly it already has over 1.4m signatures. I hate signing petitions (something about the sound of a clipboard and ‘excuse me’), and I’ve still done it. What are the rest of you waiting for?! ~JL

This seems so important to our democracy- no one person should be able to shut parliament we need millions to sign this - if you are in the UK please do & RT

Petition: Do not prorogue Parliament petition.parliament.uk/petitions/2691… just a reminder for anyone who hasn’t signed yet. I’m sure there are more than 1.6 million who want to defend parliamentary democracy.
Sign to defend parliamentary democracy. Johnson has so far faced Parliament on a single day; he now proposes to evade Parliament for 5 weeks in the middle of the biggest crisis to face our country in living memory.

Petition: Do not prorogue Parliament
The petition now has over 1 million signatures!! Please sign. No matter what side you’re on, Leave or Remain, democracy is for everyone to care about and we must unite against this unconstitutional & undemocratic move today by such an reckless government
However you feel about leaving the EU, suspending parliament now is blatantly anti-democratic, and shows a dangerous lack of respect for this country's long history of parliamentary democracy. Please sign, and email your MP...

I hope anyone interested in the continued health of democracy in the UK will sign this. Whatever your views on the government, parliament must be able to hold the executive to account
Petition: Do not prorogue Parliament
We live in a parliamentary democracy; whatever your views on Brexit, parliament has to have its say. The alternative is unconscienable. Petition: Do not prorogue Parliament

I strongly urge any UK resident or citizen to sign this petition. We cannot allow Johnson and his government to play games with our democracy.
Petition: Do not prorogue Parliament
Do not prorogue Parliament petition just hit 1.5 million - petition.parliament.uk/petitions/2691… however, the rate is slowly a little - please spread the word so we can get to 2 million...
I signed this petition this morning. Not because the referendum should be dismissed but because our future relationship with the EU is the single most important question at the moment, and Johnson is attacking democratic scrutiny of the options.
If prorogation wasn't about Brexit, as the defence minister is now touring studios to say, why does the government's own response to the anti-prorogation petition start by talking about Brexit?
It’s not the kind of political action likely to make any difference, but I *am* (in part) a British citizen and signing is easy, so I have signed this.
Now to work out what really to do
