I have heard that they have made an agreement to have a fixed term parliament. Now, with "Dave's" manifesto promise of being able to recall government, if they are not doing there jobs properly, has that gone out the window.
The Tory policy was recall of MPs to face a by-election, not recall of an entire Government. Recall of Government already exists - Parliament can take a vote of no confidence. That, incidentally, will remain the case even under a five-year fixed parliament. In fact, it will now be the only way to trigger a general election in less than 5 years.

I understand that recalling individual MPs is going to be part of the overall electoral reform package the coalition is to put forward.
