5-year election date. Each policy must be LOCKED IN during the election period. Which means, once the election campaign begins, the party may not change their stance unless it is to match what another political party is already providing. They may not remove an item already on their priority list.
1. Elections move from 3 years to 5 years (as individual ministers can be voted out on a yearly basis after a review).
2. Elections are called at exact same time every five years: Feb – 2 month campaigning (Feb and mar) last week of March is election. Then April, May and June, all new politicians are getting up to speed. Incumbents work with any new ministers to hand over and provide insight so there is a much smoother handover of work and responsibility. The last month is to provide intensive training for any new politicians.
Obviously this is all blue sky stuff…but its also all possible right now. What do YOU think? Which bits do you agree or disagree with? And which bits are most important?
