The British Government's Response to Global Economic Trends

This is a reflection of the wider economic trends in the world. I don't think the British government particularly wants to do this, but they can see where the economic winds are blowing. Britain cannot afford to be left behind in the race for all of these new industries. It's quite unusual to have so many bio-elections the same day. Back in the 16 and 17s when you had MPs dying all the time,. They often had half a dozen or even 10 on the same day - which would have been nice.
