Albo supports shifting from a PM called election within a 3 year term to a 4 year term of fixed length.
“If you’ve got a three-year cycle, in practice, that often means that you really only have a shorter window of perhaps a couple of years to bring about substantial reform, by which time you’re looking at the next election,” he said.
Having a fixed term of parliament would remove the ability for prime ministers to call early elections, as well, which typically favour the incumbent government.
Because the date of the election is known in the US, the entire 18 months leading up to the election is all about the election. You don’t want the political exhaustion that goes with that.
