In Canada, Prime Minister Stephen Harper had the Parliament dissolved. Campaigning begins for elections that will be held in October. The election cycles of both the UK and Canada have started and been completed in the time the US's Presidential Cycle has even begun. I wish ours were as short.

A Speaker Resigns and a Parliament is Dissolved
It was an interesting day in international politics today. In Australia, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Bronwyn Bishop, has resigned due to mounting pressure from an expenses scandal. Occasionally, I check into YouTube to watch Questions to the House. It's a lot nastier than the UK's Questions to the Prime Minister and it only got worse when I saw Speaker Bishop take the chair. I don't think that there could be any claim that she attempted to keep her position as partisanly neutral as possible. There is a series of YouTube videos by George Stenhouse that you should check out.
