Short Parliaments to end Septennial Rule
The speaker argues against long Parliaments and in favor of shorter terms. He cites rising costs, corruption, and the Crown's influence as driving reasons for repealing the Septennial Act and shortening Parliament duration to three years or less. He contends frequent elections keep officials aligned with constituents and curb bribery, urging passage of a bill to repeal Septennial and shorten Parliament.
