Interview: Ken Clarke – “The Greeks have made it impossible, unless they come up with some brilliant solution, to stay in the Euro.”

Lewis Baston: The Conservative story of support for election reform

Elevating FPTP to the status of a Tory principle would be a historical, and perhaps also a historic, mistake.

By Lewis Baston | 9 January 2015 | 38 comments

Would we really have had an election by now were it not for the Fixed Terms Parliament Act?
