Question

10 questions for a TV reporter about elections​

Answer 1

1. Can we be honest here, it’s time for a written constitution, isn’t it?

2. After Cameron’s comments to the Daily Mail and LBC questioning the “credibility” of a Labour government, how long will he squat at No 10, like Howard Hughes with rolled-up sleeves, ordering in takeaways and watching The Iron Lady on repeat, refusing to resign?

3. Although, he is entitled to for a while – so are all of these questions of legitimacy even relevant?

4. Can’t people just read the Cabinet Manual (PDF), which is pretty clear on the rules?

5. Ed, speaking in 2010 makes it clear too, doesn’t he?

Ed Miliband, speaking after the 2010 election results, on a hung parliament.

6. Can we not all just agree, then, that a government is formed when a majority in the Commons passes a vote of confidence?

7. The SNP probably wouldn’t dare to vote down a Labour Queen’s Speech and therefore isn’t Ed Miliband right to call their bluff?


8. And what is the SNP’s true position on calling a second referendum?

9. Do we believe SNP deputy leader Stewart Hosie when he threatens to hold Labour’s budget to ransom in return for a promise on a second referendum?

10. Or Leanne Wood when she says Plaid Cymru could also vote against a Labour budget?

hope it helps....
