Brexit is a hotly debated topic that has divided the nation. This petition is not influenced by Brexit, but it does play a significant part as the Prime Minister decided to prorogue Parliament in order to push through his plans for the October 31st deadline. This petition is to ensure that a person - in this case the Prime Minister should face trial in court for acting against the law.

No person is above the law, and no-one should be allowed to significantly break it and not face trial.
