He's just showing how little he cares about the country. If he actually cared, he would use all the time he had to actually try improve the country and fix it whilst he still can, even if it was just to give his party a better chance in the elections, but he clearly doesn't care about his party or the country, and would rather just quit now and go live in the US and spend his millions, as that's all he cares about, himself. A growing trend we have in the UK now.

Because, we all know he’s already packed his bags for Santa Monica, California. He’ll arrive there in time to register his children in school before it starts in the fall. And, it should be no surprise that he chose July 4-America’s Independence Day-knowing full well he’s going to lose. He’s giving the UK the finger as he goes out.

By calling the election early, Sunak is saving some of the Conservative vote that he would otherwise be losing to Respect between now and November.

Spot on. We are in desperate need of Electoral Reform - with FPTP replaced by PR in tandem with STV. Sadly, Starmer isn't going to implement electoral reform any more than Blair did, despite Blair making that a Manifesto commitment prior to the 1997 General Election. The moment Blair got his huge majority in '97 he dropped electoral reform like a hot potato. In fairness to Starmer, he's said that for him electoral reform is NOT a priority. *I bet it isn't.* Starmer knows that he'll get a huge majority on July 4th under FPTP, and he sure as h*ll isn't going to do anything which he would regard as risky. And as we know, Keir Starmer is VERY risk averse...

I think there are multiple layers of logic in a summer election and I have commented over recent months that I expected it across various KZfaq channels. Firstly, there is nowhere else for him to go and the summer is the season of political vacuums with Parliament not sitting. Second to that, July is a time when the good weather generally sends working class people away on holiday and brings older people out of the house both of which are of benefit to the Tories. Third and possibly most important to Rishi, having the election in July means he can be stood down as leader and able to enrol his kids into school in the US for September.

Furthermore, there's no guarantee that Boris could get elected on a Reform UK ticket either, Reform is a new party, they can make the Tories lose seats to others, but cannot guarantee to win seats for themselves. Hopefully that will change. If Tory back benchers had any kind of backbone, they would have rebelled against Sunak after the dismal local elections, but have not. Now is too late, even Sunak knows that. Think before you criticise others, you come over as a lightweight.............
