Today’s “Word of the Day” is prorogue and it is a verb meaning “to postpone/terminate/suspend a session of a parliament without dissolving it”.
Example Sentence: Britain could muddle into a new constitution, undergirded by the rule of law. There would be no requirement for a separate constitutional court that could strike down primary legislation. But judges could act if the rule of law was threatened – as they did when Mr Johnson illegally attempted to prorogue parliament. Similarly, the courts would step in if a prime minister tried to legislate for a longer parliament than five years to hold on to power or rig elections by restricting the franchise (right to vote).
