Rejected petition Abolish the UK Monarchy for proroguing Parliament at a critical time for the UK

The UK Monarch should be above politics, but the role of the Head of State of any country, whether elected or appointed by birth, is to put the country's interest before the interests of any political faction. If the Queen shuts down Parliament at this moment then her office is not fit for purpose.
