Here, the Prime Minister and Ministers and chosen others sit behind closed doors and decide what should (not) be done. Then, their decisions are communictaed to the MPs of "the government". For any vote held each MP of "the government" votes the same way NO MATTER what thier constituents think. Any MP who does not toe the line is in a world of hurt.

Now, a government must hold an election at minimum intervals of five years (Yes, there was recently a law passed to make it 4 years to the day but the PM who made that law broke that law in jig time.) Six years as an MP is life-long ticket to the financial security of a fat pension. You do the math.

Shit "gets done" much quicker in our system, but that is not necessarlily a good thing.
