It seems to me that having the queen involved provides a false sense of separation of powers. Prorogation in most countries is a routine process that signals the end of a particular session. It seems unique to the UK that this power move could even play out. I’m not familiar with this process, which is why it surprised me. Are there any countries where the PM can routinely and/or for political purposes just end parliament without triggering an election? It strikes me as a situation where , absent the monarchy, such a situation would have been so quickly abused that the constitution would have been patched to preclude it. In any case, and on base principle, no unelected head of state should be able to dissolve parliament. Like, full stop.
