Fixed Term Parliaments Bill
[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to
This bill would change how UK elections are called by setting them on fixed dates rather than letting the Prime Minister decide. Instead of snap elections being called whenever a government wants, elections would happen automatically on a regular schedule, similar to how many other countries run their elections.
Presented by David Howarth.
