Ongoing chatter about an election has only one consequence- to tell the public that politicians are only interested in talking about themselves. Totally self defeating. Media commentators need to familiarise themselves with the lascelles principles. The conditions under which a monarch could agree to an early dissolution are simply not met. Then consider the craziness of going to the polls when there is such a comfortable majority in the House of Commons. Bonkers. Theresa May was able to call an early election by vote in Parliament as in those days the Fixed Term Parliament Act prevailed. Following its repeal we have reverted to constitutional conventions. So enough of this election talk. It is boring. It is turning voters right off. They want to see action and debate in the things that matter. They don’t want to be bothered with polls. They expect their politicians to get on with the job
