Dissolution of Parliament

An early opportunity to call a General Election will arise next week when Plaid Cymru and the SNP instigate a debate to dissolve Parliament. Surely the Labour Party sense that their time is up and rather than hang on for an unecessary 9 months why not give birth to a new Parliament now. Total reform of a discredited political system and removing MP's who abuse the system is a priority. The shopping list of reform (I couldn't resist this pun!) in Westminster should not start or end with expenses but be expanded to include reform of the House of Lords, reform of the first past the post system, fixed parliaments and curbing the Royal prerogative.

Its already a big story covered by the BBC and the Guardian.
