Westminster System, Precedents & Proposals

Interesting: "A privy council decision from 1963 does provide precedent for a governor general to remove a sitting PM who had prorogued parliament (but this is not binding in Canada or the UK) – the governor general of western Nigeria was entitled to act on a letter signed by a majority of parliamentarians stating that they had lost confidence in the government."

This old news, MPs back referendum on voting system reform, prompted one of the fairest comments on Preferential Voting you'll read: Neither its advocates nor its opponents can pretend that AV is a revolutionary change. It is, though, a fair one.
