Do You Think Boris Should Resign.
I don’t , Why?
Because he’s the only one who knows where he’s going, he has no majority in the HoC so he should call a GE now, we couldn’t be in a worse position than we are now, let Corbyn put his money where his mouth is, I’m not suggesting he’ll win a GE because the whole thing is a mess, everyone is sick of the last 3 .3 years, we need to get leadership like never before in our once very proud country

Not in the slightest. He's trying to force through our democratic decision against a tide of folk who treat democracy and the public with disdain, and who will use every trap, loophole, and trick they can find to thwart the nation. Boris deserves a medal for what he has tried and put up with, and should only resign if there is something to gain from it. Presently...

// By preventing Parliament's right to hold the government to account, he broke the rules governing how the UK functions. //
Preventing Parliament from working is unlawful. There is no law specifically about illegal proroguing, so it is not a criminal offence. He acted unlawfully, but he cannot go to prison.

AOG,
Just because Major also acted unlawfully half a century ago does not mean it is acceptable.
Major didn’t prorogue to end debate, he prorogued to have a General Election. The Supreme Court (if it had existed then) would probably have ruled differently.
Major’s proroguing had the happy consequence of delaying the Cash for Questions Report, but Major was forced to name election day because his 5 years fixed term was up.
