Withholding of royal assent is not an automatic trigger of a new election; but in this case, this government would deserve it, I have to say.

Current practice is not precedent, neither is it law; the reserve powers are the law.

The way you talk about withholding assent makes me think you don't really know what it means.

It would cause a constitutional crisis, a breach of the people's trust in their sovereign.

It would also mean the end of the monarchy and the United Kingdom with it.
