I agree with you on mostly everything except this . Moving this election day ONE week so that they’ve earned there pension makes sense. I would have definitely thought that was reasonable for our Conservative members if that was the same situation. Tom , in my opinion it should be changed to be 2 terms period.

Re: Change of next election date

I normally agree with you Tom, but as the clear intent of the pension vesting rules appears to be 6 years of service, I believe that people shouldn't lose out on a pension over 1 day. There are mo doubt some Conservatives who are affected by this too.

I have no doubt that if a business set up a scheme where folks lost their pensions over 1 day, there would be howls of protest.
