Until this week, that is, when we’ve seen Johnson & Cummings do exactly that...
329 MPs and most of the House of Lords are tied to green and red benches around an old building. They watch helplessly as the UK is strapped to a cutting table, with a large circular saw edging slowly towards its tender nutsack (somewhere around Devon)
BOLES: I wouldn’t be so sure Cummings, I have democracy on my side.
JOHNSON: Democracy? Pah! Not worth a bean with our plan!
JOHNSON: it’s, er, gosh. What is our plan?
CUMMINGS: I suppose there’s no reason not to tell you now, you can’t stop us as we are genius masterminds. We’ll suspend parliament, have an election, run down the clock and have no deal Brexit! Mwahaha!
CUMMINGS: what?! How did you know? How could you do that! My perfect plan, ruined!
