... To me this screams of Tories trying to keep power in a government they have a minor majority in knowing full well it might crumble. Less power to us, more power to them. They even want to force a 5 year fixed term, is that so they can keep that power longer too? Would a vote of no confidence still exist if there was a fixed term? |
Actually it is to protect the Lib Dems from Cameron calling an instant election. If anything it decreases Cameron's power; he can't call a snap election when his poll ratings are favourable like all previous prime ministers have done (Blair called two early elections, Brown chose to delay it as much as possible to get past the point where the Conservatives were 10% ahead in 2009).
