Fixed Term Parliaments Bill

[doktorb]

The new Fixed Term Parliaments Bill is now on line (http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201011/cmbills/064/2011064.pdf)

((And long over due it is too! How sad and pathetic it has been all these generations to see the United Kingdom as the only civilised and advanced western democracy anchored to the past by the right of the Prime Minister of the day to call an election when he or she chooses))

Section 1(2) and 1(3)

You must be logged in to read this quote.

And then there's lovely little consequential movements such as:

Septennial Act 1715 (c. 38)
2 The Septennial Act 1715 is repealed
