The Fixed-Term Parliaments Act (FTPA) purported to take the power of dissolution out of the Prime Minister’s hands and subordinate it to the will of the House of Commons, thus limiting significantly the executive’s power over the legislature. The provisions enacted for said purpose drew a large number of critiques for their unintended impact on the overall functioning of the system and the politically difficult scenarios they could have given rise to. However, the path that the Conservative Government has chosen to follow to repeal the FTPA revives the possibility of other, not less politically difficult scenarios and the doctrinal debate on the royal prerogative, potentially putting the monarch in a difficult position and setting the executive on a collision course with the judiciary once more.

Abstract
The Fixed-Term Parliaments Act (FTPA) purported to take the power of dissolution out of the Prime Minister’s hands and subordinate it to the will of the House of Commons, thus limiting significantly the executive’s power over the legislature. The provisions enacted for said purpose drew a large number of critiques for their unintended impact on the overall functioning of the system and the politically difficult scenarios they could have given rise to. However, the path that the Conservative Government has chosen to follow to repeal the FTPA revives the possibility of other, not less politically difficult scenarios and the doctrinal debate on the royal prerogative, potentially putting the monarch in a difficult position and setting the executive on a collision course with the judiciary once more.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
