Prorogation of the UK Parliament

The motion

That the Parliament notes the unanimous ruling of the Court of Session that, in recommending prorogation of the UK Parliament, the Prime Minister was motivated by the "improper purpose of stymieing Parliament" and that the Court will make an order "declaring that the Prime Minister's advice to HM The Queen and the prorogation which followed thereon was unlawful and is thus null and of no effect"; regards this action by the Prime Minister to be an expression of contempt for both democracy and the rule of law, and therefore has no confidence in the Prime Minister and the current UK administration.
