Rejected petition Remove prorogation completely as an option for the Prime Minister of the UK

After the Supreme Court ruling against the current prorogation, it is clear that this power is too easy to abuse and makes it too easy for Prime Ministers to shut down our democratic state and do whatever they want rather than the will of the country. Prorogation does not belong in the modern age.
