Stop the repeal of the Fixed term Parliament act
The repeal of this act would allow the Prime Minister to decide when to hold an election as and when it best suits him and his party. The fixed term parliament act in 2011 established having an election every 5 years. Just like the USA where they have an election every 4 years.
Boris Johnson is undertaking legislative reform that looks worryingly like a consolidation of power in his own hands, rather than a thoughtful and rational reform of our electoral system and constitution.
