Has any “sitting” Party ever gone over the MAXIMUM permitted term of office in peace time history? The Labour Party haven’t pledged to abide by constitutional rules,but due to their ideology are trampling over democratic decisions and this will play out in the coming years.
BS!
“The Fixed-term Parliaments Act (2011) passed during the Lib Dem-Tory coalition years, mandated that elections be held every 5 years on the first Thursday in May. There was a caveat in place that a general election could be called if two-thirds of the House of Commons voted for an early general election or the government lost the confidence of the House.”
So Labour or indeed any other Political Party can’t trample over anyone.
And if you’re trying to find politicians who are determined to hang on to power as long as possible look no further than the House of Lords.
