I assume she’ll want to take the path of least interference but as you point out that might mean not stopping them.

Can she actually say "no"? I mean constitutionally?
If it wasn’t stopped - the new Queen’s Speech has to be voted on, creating a VONC in itself. But not until Oct 14th.
I think she may be powerless to do anything. This hasn’t happened since the 1640’s.
A) you are wrong.
B) the labour parties official line is that a general election is their preferred solution even above a second referendum. So again you’re wrong.
Not wrong though is it? As he won’t want one this time instead he’s trying a coup against protocol
Yes wrong as you said that a no confidence vote had to be tabled-it doesn't, the clown can propose one and persuade Labour to back it.
Nope I’m not wrong as the act states that the government can decide on the date of the election so there is nothing to stop them having it early November and instantly dissolving parliament
Can she actually say "no"? I mean constitutionally?
Again wrong technically the Queen decides the date
Yes. It requires the monarch's approval
She can’t refuse as she then will be a political figure which is against her constitutional role

The parliament act was hastily drawn up and it doesn’t the sitting Prime Minister can decide the date - it could even some experts think could be 6 months after dissolution so Mr Corbyn and his fellow coup members will not be calling an election
Corbyn has to call a no confidence motion - win it and form a government to then agree a delay on the exit date
I can understand all of the downsides of being the EU (though regulations on employers and employment rights is certainly not one of them), so could be encouraged to vote out on that basis.
HOWEVER, I have no faith at all in the blatant liars within the Leave campaign who will presumably be part of the government post leave if that happens. I am thinking of Boris Johnson, Gove and Priti Patel, all pretty detestable individuals whose interests are certainly not for ordinary British people.
Dont cry sweetheart, we've had 3 years of MPs going against its constituents wishes to try and get their own way...
It's about time quite frankly that somebody stood up and said fuck you.. No more
Dont like it.. Don't care
She has the power of refusal and preventing the clown's blatant abuse of power lies in the interests of the country. She can show for once that she isn't a pointless figurehead
Nope I’m not wrong as the act states that the government can decide on the date of the election so there is nothing to stop them having it early November and instantly dissolving parliament
How can he do that with what this clown has just done?
Not sure - interestingly the last monarch that did it was executed....
Oh I thought you were against a monarchy?
This could actually backfire on Johnson. Before this I don't think Corbyn had a nope of hell of getting a VONC through, I think he may now scrape through and get the numbers he needs.
The proroguing of Parliament requires royal assent. It is completely within her power
But her role is to ‘work on the advice of the Prime Minister’ so how does that work?
Be clear - I want this stopped as well, but can this be a viable avenue?

I think Rory Stewart pretty much said he would vote against the government in a vote of no confidence should the next PM try to suspend parliament during his leadership campaign. He then increased his number of votes from MP’s in the next round. There’s certainly evidence to suggest a rebellion amongst Tory MP’s is possible and it could backfire on Johnson.
Of course not - she cannot intervene on government advice
Oh I thought you were against a monarchy?
But if she suspended parliament at the PM’s request minus a vote in the commons she is intervening. It’s only a vote in parliament that can stop her intervening as she will simply be following protocol. Without that vote whether she accepts or refuses the request she is intervening.
He can call a vote of no confidence win it and then he or any other party has 14 days to establish a new government
There is a procedure to prevent him from doing this
This could actually backfire on Johnson. Before this I don't think Corbyn had a nope of hell of getting a VONC through, I think he may now scrape through and get the numbers he needs.
Then Johnson calls a November election - perfect for Johnson as the Brexit party are then null and void
