Consider This: Fixed-Term Parliament Act (Part 3) - Assessing the Constitutionality of an FTPA
An alleged plot to topple the government has raised concerns about the potential recurrence of the political instability in 2020 triggered by the Sheraton Move. As a consequence, calls for a Fixed-Term Parliament Act have come to the fore — a bill aimed at, in theory, making the process of calling for an early dissolution of Parliament more rigorous.
