Its time to talk about a Hung Parliament

New website campaign calls for four-year

fixed term government to deal with a hung parliament

For the first time in over 30 years, there is a strong possibility that a General Election will

result in no party having overall charge of Parliament. At the same time the grave

continuing economic and fiscal crisis will be the major issue facing our government.

Around half of recent opinion polls put a hung parliament as a possible election result - if

current voting intentions, as given to the pollsters, are translated into the number of MPs

each party would have after the election.

Now a non-party group, Charter 2010, has launched a website www.charter2010.co.uk to

promote discussion of how an indecisive election result should be handled by the party

leaders and politicians. Charter 2010 says a hung parliament is “the result no-one wants

to plan for” – and it accuses party politicians of a “conspiracy of silence” on the issue.
