Under the new fixed term parliament you need a two thirds majority to dissolve parliament (to stop a PM going early to an election), as such very unlikely parliament will be dissolved before May 2015, both major parties would have to agree to it and whichever was likely to lose an early election would not vote to dissolve parliament.
In theory, yes, but if Scotland votes “yes” all bets are off.
When that law was drafted no one anticipated a potential constitutional crisis within the fixed-term. The beauty of an unwritten constitution is flexibility: a one clause bill repealing that stupid piece of legislation could be passed in a day.
Apart from anything else, it’s in the long term interests of both the Conservative and Labour parties do so. Expediency is a wonderful thing.
