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.
We already have parties getting into campaign mode way earlier than 1 month. The election probably won’t be until May, but there’s already a strong sense that they’re in campaign mode.
