They’ll be more than three parties. You’ll see one or more the main parties begin to splinter, and unimportant fourth parties will start drawing voters.
There are already more than three parties on the Commons - 7 if I recall correctly (although Sinn Feinn doesn’t take their seat).
This article is full of holes. In fact it is laughably alarmist.
1. Never trust an Ameican writer who spells the Labour Party as Labor. They are either too stupid to know the correct spelling or think the audience is too stupid to cope with an extra ‘U’. Doh!
2. The PM cannot dissolve Parliament. Only the Queen can do so. No changes there.
3. There is no such entity as “Liberal/Social Democratic Party”. It is the Liberal Democrats. The author again is stupid or is trying to influence you.
4. The author complains that the Parliament would have to vote itself out of office with the new rules. Firstly Parlaiment is not in office, secondly this is no change. If a PM lost a no confidence vote he would have to lose support of the Parliament anyway. The only difference is in how many. If anything this increases stability as there is no chance of the opposition plus a few fringe groups doing the dirty.
5. There is no chance of political parties just deciding to create governments without elections. This is the most absurd thing I have ever heard. It’s as absurd as saying the Democrats and Republicans will just go together to create an eternal dictatorship. It’s the ramblings of a madman.
6. His final line about the missing the UK is the biggest load of nonsense ever. We already had a hung Parliament and we have the strongest and most finacially Conservative Government since Thatcher. We have an astonishing 25-40% cuts across Government departments.
You should worry if you accepted this nonsense as fact.
Isn't there already a rightwing nationalist party in Britain? Why couldn't a Tory government get their support to form a government, and move Britain further right, i.e. toward sanity?
The rightwing parties in Israel have kept Nobel-Prize-Whore Prime Mininsters from undermining Israel's security in exchange for international acclaim.
