I have two problems with the set election date.

1) I like the tradition of being able to call an election whenever. I'm not sure why I like this, but I do, and I know it's a crappy reason, but I don't care.

2) My real reason. What happens when we get a minority government falling? I think a better way to do this would be to say 4 years after the government is elected, it must call an election. So if Harper get's defeated on a confidence motion next week, and the libs come back to power on say June 15, then the next election would be June 15, 2010.
That could work.
