This is what you get in a country without a written.constitution
Pretty much similar thing here in Finland, with one major difference.
We do have mandatory general election every four years. I really don't understand how can you have a non-mandatory schedule in UK and still call it a democratic process? What if the ruling party just refuses to hold any more elections, ever?
