Who owns the constitution? The Speaker or the People?

John Bercow’s comment that the prorogation of Parliament is “simply not going to happen” is remarkable. It may be unpopular, but it is a perfectly constitutional position. 

The Speaker clearly thinks “one rule for you, another for me” is an acceptable approach, until he finds parliamentary process can be used to thwart his will and instead implement the will of the people as displayed in the referendum of 2016.
