Repeal of the Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011

I simply do not accept that, because there is still the provision within the Act for confidence motions on the basis of a simple majority. We are only at the tail-end of the first Parliament in which the Act operates. It makes sense to say “Let this run its course for this Parliament and the next and then have a review.” That is a sensible way of making constitutional reform.
