Does the Prime Minister recall that he said he would set up a searching inquiry with full powers to act and that that is a long way from merely referring it to the Ministry of Labour. What is the reason for his change after the most specific statement which he made on three successive days?
In a general election, each constituency chooses an MP to represent it by process of election. The party who wins the most seats in parliament is in power, with its leader becoming Prime Minister and its Ministers/Shadow Ministers making up the new Cabinet. If no party has a majority, this is known as a hung Parliament. The next general election will take place on or before 3rd June 2010.
