[QUOTE="General Melchett, post: 1117253, member: 74895"] If you google "Fixed Term Parliament act" you will get a better explanation than I can offer. I think the aim of this act was to formalise things more as it was pretty loose before this act came along. The Government can also call a 'snap election' at any time if they think they are in a strong position and want to lock in a new parliamentary term. Boris did this in December 2019 in order to break the Brexit deadlock in Parliament. I'm not a fan of this but sometimes it may be useful if the Govt is weak and can't pass legislation. [/QUOTE]
