It’s strange that you seem to deride seeking out information to have an informed opinion as a bad thing - surely the more information one has, the more one learns; the older I get, the more I realise there is so much I don’t know, so I try to keep learning.
The ‘bad thing’ would be to prorogue Parliament for purely political reasons to lessen the sovereignty of Parliament - the Government is not Parliament, merely the Executive.

No it would not be a bad thing. It would only only be bad for the Remainers, trying to over turn the 2016 result, because it stops them getting their own way like a spoilt child. You need to remember, Remainers lost the vote in 2016 and the UK voted to leave the EU.
Perhaps you should tell these pesky Remainer MPs trying to abuse their position, trying to thwart the Democratic will of the Electorate that there is still checks and balances and this would be a check on the system trying to overturn a Legitimate Democratic Mandate, surely your 80's and 90's experience should tell you this.
