by Anorak | 14th, May 2010
READY for a Lib-Con stitch up that will ensure they remain in power? Sure there is no written constitution, but the new Government has agreed to fixed-term parliaments of five years. Yep, you can’t get rid of them before their allotted time. Well, not unless you can secure the support from 55% of MPs.
Right now it’s 50% plus one. Because in democracy, one more than half is the majority. Simple, right? But in this nu politics, it’s 55%.
So, can you muster the 55% needed to dissolve Parliament? Only is at least 16 Conservative MPs rebel.
Anyone feel like puking?
