Nick Clegg pushes fixed-term parliament plan, The Independent (2010)

This article reports on a new law that would introduce fixed term for the Parliament in the UK. Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, is strongly supporting this new law, which would deprive the Prime Minister of the power to pick election dates. As a matter of fact, with the current legislation, the prime minister can ask the Queen to dissolve the Parliament at any time. On the other hand, the new law would set a fixed five-year term for the Parliament, and a fixed election date (the first Thursday in May). The new law will now be discussed in the House of Commons.
