The election that never happened

What a farce!

It’s a ridiculous system where the Government party can pick the election timing that suits them best – no matter what impact it has on the country as a whole – and then bottle it because they don’t like the result they think they’re going to get.

I’m a long-time supporter of fixed term parliaments so that the Government doesn’t have the option of fixing things in their favour.

Post note: I’ve just signed up to Fixed Term – a campaign for fixed term parliaments which has been set up by a cross-party group of bloggers – including Lib Dem blogger Stephen Tall and Tory blogger Iain Dale.
