Proroguing Parliament

Subject: Proroguing Parliament.

So this morning we wake up to hear the political establishment in disarray, screeching and tearing their hair out as Boris announces that Parliament will be prorogued i.e. suspended for a period of time prior to a new Queens Speech, which is the symbol of a new parliamentary session, a parliament resetting itself as the old parliament comes to an end. The hysteria amongst the opposition as it sees itself sidelined by the government is, to my mind, disingenuous because whilst proroguing makes the sittings impossible, given the importance of Brexit at the end of October, why did the parliamentarians go on leave this year and why are they prepared to go ahead with the Party Conferences when all hands and heads should be locked into the Palace of Westminster until a decision as to what to do is arrived at.
Democracy, the system of offering a vote to everyone in the land to elect a political representative who is supposed to carry all our political desires, is under threat as start people loose any semblance of respect when they see their representatives squabble like kids in the playground. I suppose it was inevitable once the mystique of the place was diminished by television, the facade was brought down and we were left with the sight of ordinary people doing their best, a best which was simply not good enough.
The arcane laws and procedures which symbolise parliament don't help the procedural time required If these representatives are locked out by government, especially if the claim of the Brexiters, "to bring back political control from Europe to Westminster"  makes the claim a sham as it locks the doors of the very constitutional  institution they are supposed to champion.
After wasting three years, wasting parliamentary time on claim and counterclaim with voting largely following party political lines, with party leaders sitting on the fence, with unprecedented moves across the chamber both from the government side to the opposition as well as a realignment within the opposition to other parties.
The comfort of parliamentary life has been blown apart. Over the last 10 to 20 years parliament has seen itself reconfigured to make it more female friendly. The hours of sitting has been reduced to align itself with family life, no more the all-night sittings to thrash out a particularly thorny problem, 'time to pick up the kids', has become more important than the nations business. Going on holidays when the country was on the verge of a cataclysmic change, was itself so short sighted as to be treasonable. 
We have become  so poorly served by parliament, from the scandal of MPs expenses to the cabals which have afflicted both major parties is it any wonder the rating of politicians particularly concerning their ethical substance, has fallen below that of the second-hand car salesmen.
