I agree. Democracy must be overcome.

Boris Johnson has public's support to shut down Parliament to get Brexit over line, exclusive poll suggests

The ComRes survey for The Telegraph found that 54 per cent of British adults think Parliament should be prorogued to prevent MPs stopping a no-deal Brexit.

The poll suggested the Prime Minister is more in tune with the public’s views on Brexit than MPs, following his promise to deliver Brexit by October 31 “do or die”.​

Hmm a poll carried out by the paper Boris worked for for many years. Super reliable, I’m sure.

In hindsight, do you think Britain was right or wrong to vote to leave the EU?

If there was another referendum on Britain’s membership of the EU, how would you vote?

The telegraph poll is bogus.
In general as with the referendum it is neck and neck, with those thinking brexit is a terrible idea winning in polling.

That's what the elites have been trying to do for the last 3 years, overcome the democratic will of the people.
Proroguing parliament is intended to prevent them blocking democracy.

Those devilish elites. What rogues put them into their positions of power, and by what undemocratic means?

All parties stood on a mandate of "Brexit means Brexit".
Once seated, they betrayed every vestige of that promise.

Maybe parliament should be abolished if it doesn't do its duty.

I think these charlatans are in for a shock at the general election shortly to come.

That doesn't explain what makes them elite. Or deep state, for that matter.

I haven't explained what Brexit means either, or vestige, mandate or betrayed. Most people already know elite and deep state.
If still puzzled by these or any other long words, you can always google them.

Or do you want me to explain Google?

However, some of his conservative party fellows defected and walked away to Liberal side. Will he call another election one week before brexit?

Well, most people see these used as placeholders for "stuff-you-dont-like", so sure, we do understand. Just wish they had definitions worth using.

Here's a clue for you though, politicians on video clearly named voting against the government are the diametric opposite of "deep state", and only elite compared to you in your opinion (since you described them as such)

The idea that Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage are not elite is beyond laughable. And when posters start talking 'deep state' they are clearly wearing a tin hat.

“You cannot have people standing as Conservative MPs when they are against the government policy on the key issue of the day.” (Boris's spokesperson)

Half the cabinet in the past year have voted against govt policy on the key issue of the day. If it wasn't for them we'd be out of the EU

Hypocrites

You ought to check your facts before posting.

In the 2016 referendum, Britain voted to leave the EU. Since then, the deep state elites, civil service, 80% of MPs etc. have conspired to completely halt that process, or render it Brexit in name only.

They want to keep Britain shackled to EU courts, EU regulations, EU free movement of people. etc.
That would leave Britain in a far worse place than our current membership gives.
We would be utterly subject to the EU, as we are now, but with no representation in the Commission or EU Parliament.

Much as I don't trust PM Boris Johnson, he is actually fighting to take us out of the EU by the October 31st date, exactly in compliance with Article50 as previously passed by this Parliament.
He is fighting the deep state.

The Remain faction have been massively funded by global banks and other global corporations

And the fact I can name everyone of them means they are the exact opposite of a deep state.

This particular discussion has nothing to do with the pros, cons, constitutionality or democraticness of brexit in either direction, and everything to do with your decision to label the group-you-dont-like as elite deep state. Why not just call the 50% of your countymen that don't agree with you baby eating subhuman demons and be done with. If you are going to mindlessly vilify, go all in.

I'd like you to explain how someone with the education to write complete sentences, such as yourself, can express such ludicrous views with a straight face and only a smidgeon of residual teenage angst. Tell me, how did you get on with your father?

I suspect that if the Brexit referendum were held again tomorrow the vote would be to stay in the EU. If things keep going from bad to worse the Queen might have to suspend parliament and call a new election. Perhaps even a new referendum. Or both. That might actually be the best solution.
