Fixed Election Dates
{Via CBC:} Fix N.B. election dates: Officer
This is one the Lord PC's kicked around in the past. I personally like the idea of fixed election dates. Sure would take the guess work out of things.....
The Liberals should seriously take a look at this one. My guess is this one would be a popular idea with the electorate. It makes so much more sense.
Of course, it does potentially create a slight problem for the governing party. Namely, not being able to call a snap election when sitting high in the polls. Indeed it could very well mean heading to the polls when a party is in a tail spin.
