@@samelmudir Boris and Truss were elected. Sunak is the only one who was voted against and put in place with a coup.

I promise we'll make capitalism work guys we've had almost 400 years of perfecting it.

No PM is directly elected.

Johnson and Truss were both elected. Sunak was voted against but put in place . It was a coup.

I distinctly remember telling people the tories are liars and never trust a word they say...... Its getting boring being right all the time.

​It makes me chuckle when I see Tories, in their desperation say "LIEBOUR will be worse". They think everyone is as stupid and gullible as them.

I remember the Tories being called the party of economic responsibility. Brexit, truss and the highest tax since ww2.

He was right back then. Ed Miliband is a clown.

I seem to remember this small thing called covid that happened not sure if you've heard of it but I'd like to hear how you'd have dealt with it

What do you think this is, a Democracy!? How dare you

He would need support to call the election, and that is something he is short of. Plus there is a general rule in politics that when you have power, keep it for as long as you can: if you're unpopular then more time to rule, and more time to maneuver.

​@@radroatch Nope, the Tories shot themselves in the foot there. Since 2011 it's the PM who can call the election.

@@PhysicsGamer What is true on paper doesn't take into account the actual political realities. He needs political capital to call the shots, and getting visits from from the head of the 1922 shows he is very low on it... I guess the visit could have had something to do with the window of the election chosen for all we know.

@@radroatch What? It doesn't matter how much "political capital" he has - he has the authority to dissolve parliament on the spot, if he wishes. ...Okay, sort of. There _are_ restrictions on that. But nothing that is relevant in this case.

Calling a general election out of spite/because you want to P*ss off another party member challenging your leadership, and *not* because the people demand it, shows the dire situation of the UK's democracy

Probably, but given how bad the conservatives are, I wouldn't be surprised they just play the wild card to try to refresh.

She'd be parachuted in elsewhere, they don't put Prime Ministers in marginal seats for that very reason. Imagine the tories won, but Sunak wasn't an MP any more?

There are no safe Tory seats this time, you will certainly see tactical voting against whoever is the Tory leader.

Yes Starmer is not the answer.

Bring on the highly anticipated REFORM party, who are in touch with the millions of peasants like myself!who believe the educated, Reform Party must solve the disaster that we have in the UK.

Rishi Sunak was not useless. He made Billions for his donors and backers. Through corruption and theft he has gifted more wealth to the elite upper class than since Victorian times. He achieved the 1 goal he was installed to do. Make the rich richer.

@@jonjones6583 Because right-wing populism has a great history of improving the quality of life of the peasants 🙄

@@jonjones6583 So the solution to the Tories having managed to alienate the center of the party... is for the far right to abandon them, too. This seems like a win for a lot of people who aren't Tories, I will admit.

Correct, to me it’s almost certain there’ll be a GE before the summer (please! 🙏🏻). They’ll get obliterated in the local’s in May that Sunak will have no choice but to call it

The hilarious thing is that he wouldn't be able to do so if the Tories hadn't repealed the Fixed Term Parliaments Act.

Heritage Party We are now in our fourth year since we launched as a party in autumn 2020. This is a vital year for us as there is likely to be a General Election at the end of 2024. We will also be contending local elections in England and the London Assembly election next May. In the UK, the old political parties continue to work in lockstep together to allow perverse materials into classrooms for Relationships and Sexuality Education, permit open borders with unprecedented levels of both illegal and legal immigration, and make war on motorists with increasingly onerous restrictions on travel for ordinary citizens such as LTNs, 15-minute cities and the ULEZ. The Heritage Party is the only UK-wide party that will end the climate emergency hoax and lift all restrictions on carbon dioxide emissions. We will ensure that people can continue to buy and use petrol and diesel cars and keep gas boilers in their homes. We will repeal regulations that require homes to have SMART meters and meet impossible new building emissions criteria, designed to force the abandonment of older buildings that are a precious part of our heritage. We will introduce a Child Protection Bill to protect children from propaganda that attempts to confuse them with gender ideology or groom them into early sexual activity. We will also control our borders by pushing illegal boats back across the Channel and introducing strict caps on student and work visas while ensuring we train enough young British people to do the jobs that need to be done in this country.

The USA republicans tried this to pick a leader (Speaker) after they removed the current speaker. It took 3 weeks to elect someone and he has very little authority with his caucus. Still maybe the British politicians can be more focused.

@jamesarnold7253 this is why there needs to be reform. Not doing the right thing to save your own skin shouldn't be how politics is played out. They are essentially servants to their constituency, working for the needs of their people. If their leader goes then they should be asking their constituents the same things about them.

There is a non zero chance that Penny is going to lose her own seat this election. Beyond that, this gives her the opportunity of being prime minister for a month or two and then leave the Tories to their death, while enjoying the benefits.
