That would work fine if things were going to get better but they are not, and every political commentator seems to agree on that.

hauxwell   244 #25737 Posted March 17 I don’t think summer will be a good time to hold a general election once the migrant small boats start to cross the channel and hundreds of asylum seekers start to land on our shores.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

GabrielC   58 #25739 Posted March 17 Well if Sunak was confident of winning why has he pulled out of 2rd May election a date he decided on?  Tory MPs were becoming active on social media and leaflets have been printed and sent out why do this if no election was been planned why go to the expense it's not cheap to produce booklets and leaflets for no reason?  The longer Sunak leaves it the more risk to him been replaced by a new leader as the Party expect to do badly in the local May elections. Going long just means more losses for them in a future election. Sunak could be going long for a personal reason like wanting to complete the Indian trade deal that will benefit him personally then call an election . Sunak is only interested in personal enrichment not for party or the country. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Perhaps January will be better, but the economy needs to improve, inflation increased in January 2024.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-68285819 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
