@davidallengreen@mastodon.green

Law and policy commentary from UK.

I also geek out here about lore and fantasy, which are my real interests, as well as about other cultural stuff.

I am often ironic and not always earnest, and so please don't take some of the things I post at face value.

Any “constitutional” or legal questions about the general election?

Ask below and I will reply if I can.

(I used to do this sort of thing on Twitter and I thought I would give it a go here.)

@KayeMac04

My post later today at Prospect addresses this possibility. tldr hypothetically possible before 30 May but unlikely

@jonbelcher

Who knows. There is a list circulating of possibles. I will link to it later.

Ministers of the Crown remain Ministers of the Crown: government is unaffected in principle. It is parliament that is dissolved, not the government.

@jonbelcher

We tried fixed terms in 2011. Didn’t work in political reality.

And yes, a waste and a shame.

I have just enjoyed typing out a post for Prospect more than I should have done on the constitutional context of yesterday rain-drenched drama.

Will be up later.

New by me

Another inquiry report, another massive public policy failure revealed

If we had proper parliamentary accountability and ministerial responsibility in real-time, we would not have to keep relying on inquiries to reveal what really happened.

@MultiClassGeek

In principle, yes. Or just the extension to select committees of the powers of statutory inquiries.
