- Abstract
The argument that the Crown's authority over dissolution gives the Prime Minister an "undemocratic" advantage and allows him to commit "abuses of power" fuelled the shift toward fixed-date elections in Canada and fixed-term parliaments in the United Kingdom. But that trend has manifested itself in different ways in each country. This thesis will explain why Canada and the United Kingdom have taken such divergent approaches to the same issue.
