Budget on 24th March, Election on 6th May (prob), not much time for debate

Is it just my cynicism that makes me think that the late date for the budget is designed to limit the debate about the measures announced?

 

It will need to be voted on very quickly to enact laws for the next financial year and to allow it to be passed for a May 6^th election to be called. Either they don’t want it to be debated in depth (of course) or Alistair and Gordon couldn’t agree (of course too)! Probably both.

 

Squiffy.
