Thank you Brompton. That illustrates EXACTLY my point.
Although the Tories have a minority in the House, under the proposed legislation the other parties cannot bring the Government down. How is this democratic?
Similarly, the PM will be unable to dissolve Parliament.
So this can leave us in the situation with a Government that cannot pass legislation and so is effectively powerless, yet it cannot be brought down and cannot dissolve itself.
Might as well go the whole hog and say that the Government only needs 45% to pass legislation...
