Fixed-term Parliaments Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Pannick (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 15 March 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on Fixed-term Parliaments Bill.
The noble Lord is of course correct, but it is much less likely that the electorate who vote during a single day will be aware of or affected by a major news event during that day than if the event occurs during that day and there is second day of voting. This seems to be at the very least a factor that should be taken into account if consideration is being given to two days of voting.
