they 'will introduce a bill almost identical to the Lib Dem-SNP bill and we will
have a pre-Christmas election anyway'"
- "Shadow Cabinet sat down to discuss position at 12 - members aware it's much
harder for them to resist call for election with the other two main opposition

narrative surrounding an election. Would have largely the same impact though in
bringing around election in easier manner than under Fixed-Term Parliaments Act.
