I could have been clearer - I wasn’t suggesting formalising that. But if it happened a few times it might make parties address unpopular issues because of how unsustainable it is.
The UK needs action on a number of issues it’s almost impossible to touch because parties tie themselves up in manifesto commitments unsuitable for reality.
- Benefit cuts
- Raising taxes
- Ending the triple lock
- Affordable housing
- Immigration
- Council tax reform
To name a few.
