Notes:

I wanted to give a little more thought to that diary entry I made earlier, so I leapt on the suggestion that I expand it into an article. Thanks, cam, for the motivation to ignore the things I was supposed to be doing in the last fortnight (overtime, fixing bugs in my own website, that sort of thing :- )

There is a spreadsheet I worked on to build up some of the numbers on the length of previous governments. If you\'d like a look at it, email me.

Lastly, the last paragraph exposes me as unashamedly using the issue of the power of incumbency to push my wagon of ditching the Westminster system. I\'m quite sure that that won\'t be controversial on this board.
