When one of the main jurists of the government said: "We are in a major constitutional crisis" – with some degree of surprise and urgency – any residual belief that one of the members of the Current cabinet knows what it's doing is quickly dispelled (chaos of Brexit The President stops May in his footsteps, March 19). It seems that, even sitting on green benches, the content and focus of the debate, discussions and questions go over the number of those who are paid to participate. Last week, more than one curious MP asked the question that anyone belonging to a club, a society or a political party should be familiar with, namely that governance is not a loop continues, like the "muzak" in the elevators. If the President's decision leads to a long extension of Article 50, demanding elections to the European Parliament, the price of around £ 100 million seems exceptionally advantageous compared to the ferry contracts and other projects not negotiated.

• President Bercow made the appropriate and logical decision in the face of an attempt by a minority to convince the same people to vote in the same chamber to overturn a decision already made.
Organizations do not accept a minority in any other group of decision makers who repeatedly submit a motion in the hope of achieving a different outcome.
The decision of 1604 has since been applied many times in parliaments because of its logic. President Bercow is right to maintain the previous sound.

• Brexit is now a bigger failure of statistics than Suez. In recent times, nothing is close to the fiasco, which now looks like a chessboard, with no way out.
We have reached a point where external intervention is needed. All the systems we know have collapsed, and to pretend otherwise is futile.
The time may have come for Parliament to completely dissolve, at least temporarily, and to develop a new plan to restore normalcy. The queen always exercises this last prerogative.

• Your editorial (March 19) suggests that "May could prorogue Parliament", which would be ironic since, in June 2017, she had extended the two-year parliamentary session to deal with Brexit and "allow the smoothest transition possible" to leave "- ie to get one's own way.

• Theresa May might try to prorogue the parliament, but the queen should accept it. It would probably mean that she was getting involved in politics. So, of course, could be the case if she refused to do it. Perhaps his decision could be affected by the prorogation of Parliament's precedent in the middle of a session in 1628, by Charles I. In view of subsequent events leading to the loss of Charles's head, His Majesty may hesitate to do the same.

• Polly Toynbee recalls that every year's survey still has a lot to do (Bercow's decision breathes new life into the popular vote on March 19th). So why are Conservative politicians, frustrated by Presidents Bercow and Erskine May, complaining about "not keeping the people's decision"? It is surely what the breath of fresh air of Monday in the dishonest communes encourages the Parliament to do the same.

• Mr. Bercow is right "to regain sovereignty over the communes", in the words of Polly Toynbee, so why propose to withdraw it immediately to the communes by organizing another referendum? It is incumbent upon the newly empowered parliament to terminate Brexit by revoking the Article 50 notification.
The only constitutional crisis in sight is the possibility that the government is trying to limit the powers of parliament. The degradation of the British parliament, centuries old, would be a strange interpretation of "regaining control".

• As a result, members on leave are outraged at not having a third chance to vote on the May agreement, but scornfully contempt for the public to have a second chance to vote. "People have spoken," they say. Well, Parliament has spoken – twice.

Bearsted, Kent
• Now that the Speaker has ruled out a third vote, should not he go to penalties?

• Anyone could he please, Please ask Armando Iannucci to stop creating a script for Brexit (or at least write a happy ending).
