Although it appears to be in the right of the Council of Ministers to use article 59, Parliament and the new Majority are of course against it. Parliamentarian Sarah Wescot Williams stated in yesterday’s papers that a Council of Ministers who had been fired, could not then call on the resignation of Parliament, or for Parliament to be resolved.
