This is a case where the UK is governed by norms, rather than laws. Charles I prorogued Parliament for 11 years. Of course when he reconvened Parliament they refused to be dismissed again and ultimately deposed him. It's hard to believe that a one-year suspension in modern times would stand, but resolving it would be messy. |

It'd be a pretty much immediate constitutional crisis but I don't doubt at all that it'd end up with the head of state getting changed to an elected position. Definitely messy though which is why the tradition stuff works fine for now.
