Early elections?

[Poll #1042148]

For the avoidance of doubt by "always" I mean "always", i.e. no early elections as well as no late elections. So don't tick both that and any of the early-election options unless you really do think that fundamental constitutional laws should be self-contradictory!

The first option suggests that every parliament will have identical length? I certainly agree that there should be a maximum length of a parliament, but that they should also be able to be called early.

Yes, "always last five years" implies no early elections as well as no late ones. I was assuming that nobody supported indefinitely long parliaments (or that if they did they would say so separately).
