Abolish the Supreme Court and return power to the Lords of Appeal in Ordinary.
Abolish the Supreme Court and return its powers to the Lords of Appeal in Ordinary as it was before the Supreme Courts creation. Also overturn the verdict in the case of R (Miller) v The Prime Minister by passing a Bill declaring that the prorogation process is non justiciable in any court.
The Supreme Court has openly meddled in political affairs and represents a dangerous and undemocratic means of carrying out political action without any democratic mandate or control. The cases over our efforts to leave the EU made this danger perfectly clear and were a direct challenge to Parliamentary Sovereignty. Article 9 of the 1689 Bill of Rights must be reaffirmed so that no court may arbitrarily take power for itself over any proceedings in Parliament ever again.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do relating to the Bill of Rights and prorogation. Courts are already unable to adjudicate on proceedings in Parliament, and Parliament is not responsible overturning the decisions of the courts.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
