But I've been reading some articles that suggest Marcon might not be willing to grant it.
Boris Johnson seeks legal advice on five-week parliament closure ahead of BrexitThat is not true, thankfully. the speaker can and will stop Boris from doing that.
Boris won't be PM a week after parliament opens. The PM of a caretaker govt will most definitely ask our partners for an extension.
The fact that he is seeking 'legal advice' means he knows parliament will attempt to stop him.

Ironic, as Brexiteers consistently said during the referendum that 'parliament should govern us - not the EU'. As soon as parliament tries to stop a no deal Brexit (the will of the vast majority of the electorate) Brexiteers try to shut them up! How democratic is that?
Not necessarily - to quote John Berkov just now, "Shutting down Parliament would be an offence against the democratic process and the rights of Parliamentarians as the people’s elected representatives,"Government plans to suspend parliament with new Queen's speech on 14 October – Politics live
Parliament is to be prorogued.
Except that the courts are extremely unlikely to step in to prevent it. A no confidence vote next week is likely, and as the past 3 years have conclusively proven, the remain side will not be able to agree on anything. Corbyn will support a general election vote, as he has consistently stated for the past few years.Not necessarily - to quote John Berkov just now, "Shutting down Parliament would be an offence against the democratic process and the rights of Parliamentarians as the people’s elected representatives,"
“Surely at this early stage in his premiership, the prime minister should be seeking to establish rather than undermine his democratic credentials and indeed his commitment to Parliamentary democracy."
Also, Labour MP for Edinburgh South Ian Murray says MPs and peers will consider seeking an interim interdict to stop prorogation.
According to BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg, "This fight is going to be legal as well as political in next few weeks."
Tory MPs are also saying that this is a shameful move and parliament will not stand for it.
I can see how the far-right are trying to take over our democracy. They have been on the rise ever since that referendum. Thankfully, we are still democratic and Johnson, Farage and their ilk will be prevented from dragging us out of the EU against our will.

A PM no one voted for, who wants a No Deal Brexit that’s never been on any ballot paper, blocking the very parliamentary sovereignty that Brexit was supposed to be about. Will of the people? Do me a favour.Nonsense. They don’t care about democracy. They’re the ones who want to stop Parliament from honoring the results of the referendum. They just don’t want Brexit to happen, and they willing to do whatever is necessary to stop it. Apparently the Prime Minister is likewise willing to do what is necessary to push it through. If it is going to come to hardball over Brexit, then both sides can play the game.
Exactly so.Nonsense. They don’t care about democracy. They’re the ones who want to stop Parliament from honoring the results of the referendum. They just don’t want Brexit to happen, and they willing to do whatever is necessary to stop it. Apparently the Prime Minister is likewise willing to do what is necessary to push it through.

I think the main problem is that the UK doesn't know what it wants. Especially concerning the border between north ireland and the republic of ireland.Exactly so.
The anti-Brexit crowd has been stalling and stalling. That's why Boris now has the job. He's been abundantly clear that he hopes to strike a deal with the EU, but if the EU wants to continue to play hardball then the UK will separate regardless.
A cup of tea, and an aspirin please.I think the main problem is that the UK doesn't know what it wants. Especially concerning the border between north ireland and the republic of ireland.
Can you tell us what the UK wants?

Indeed - why else would Johnson deny our elected MPs a voice?Yeah. Some people only respect the democratic process when it aligns with their goals.
That statement makes sense particularly when applied to Tory ministers. This is what they have said before regarding proroguing parliament:Yeah. Some people only respect the democratic process when it aligns with their goals.
Noting that the democratic process led to Boris ... because his predecessors stalled and refused to respect the democratic decision to break away from the EU. Apparently, that decision didn't align with their goals.Yeah. Some people only respect the democratic process when it aligns with their goals.
Yes Boris leader of the country with less than 1% of the electorate voting for him as leader.Noting that the democratic process led to Boris ... because his predecessors stalled and refused to respect the democratic decision to break away from the EU.

refused to respect the democratic decision to break away from the EU
That's your system ... apparently democratic in some fashion.Yes Boris leader of the country with less than 1% of the electorate voting for him as leader.
