Make the prorogation of Parliament non justiciable by any court in the land.

Pass a Bill which makes the entire process of prorogation to be completely non justiciable so that any court interference with it is illegal and invalid. Prorogation should become a power of the Royal Prerogative to be used exclusively at the Queens discretion on the advice of the Prime Minister.

Last year the Supreme Court ruled that article IX of the 1689 Bill of Rights did not apply to prorogation and as such it has become a justiciable process. By this act the Supreme Court overturned 300 years of precedent and convention with no democratic mandate to do so. A new law needs passing to make it explicitly clear that no court may ever interfere with the prorogation process again and prevent the courts from prolonging the sitting of a zombie Parliament in defiance of the government.
