Sanction behind convention

Profeser Diecy said about convention

when someone voilate the convention they voilate the law..

e.g if convention voilate the convention of session then how the budget will be passed and how can the
system will be handle...

so if you need to pass the budget you need to call the house of commen for session..

Professor Lovelle said

If parliament passed budget of five year in one session??

Convention has followed by parliament because people want to follow because they said we are
civalized..

so the real sanction behind convention is public opinion..
