UK Petition Against Suspending Parliament Exceeds 1 Million Signatures

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson decided to suspend Parliament, a move approved by Queen Elizabeth II, reducing the time for lawmakers to prevent a no-deal Brexit. Critics warn that leaving the EU without a deal could harm the economy, leading to higher import taxes, empty grocery shelves, scarce medicines, and increased mobile charges. The UK aims to exit the EU by October 31st, with Johnson committed to this deadline even without a deal. A petition against the suspension quickly gained over a million signatures, far exceeding the threshold for parliamentary debate.
