Opinion – Forget prorogation, the only thing to do in a complicated political situation is call an election – Op.Ed. William Hague – Telegraph

This op.ed. by William Hague in the Telegraph is a recommended read. I fully occur. The polarization of political opinion and distance from voters is a threat to both democracy and the UK’s strategic interests. An election is the best solution in a difficult situation. It’s time for politicians to renew their mandate from the people. An early election will be a challenge for all political parties but it is the right democratic solution?
