Calling a general election at will is one of the greatest powers of a United Kingdom prime minister. Calling a by-election is a power that rests in the hands of every member of parliament.
The Brown-orchestrated venom-spitting at David Davis using this power is a measure of how dangerous it is. Once again some of the electorate has a chance to vote. Like Crewe and Nantwich, Haltemprice and Howden now answer the question.
Everyone with a vote in the constituency, regardless of political party, should be sure to vote, and vote for freedom and an open society.

Disappointing that some on the blue benches are also dismissing it as a stunt.
Haltemprice and Howden has such a fine, English ring to it, S.
Perhaps Middlemarch provides the best insight into big issues fought out at constituency level.
