David Cameron's assertion that two terms are enough for a Prime Minister is entirely consistent with his innovation on fixed term parliaments.
It is removing the element of "surprise surprise" that has traditionally been used by politicians of all parties to manipulate the electorate.
We the people now know when Parliaments will start and end, and how long Prime Ministers are going to hang around for.
And also allowing a process of succession without all the usual cant about "allowing my name to go forward", and stalking horses, and denying that emergency installations of telephones have any significance.
