It seems pretty much a certainty that Andy Burnham will be the next British prime minister. Exactly when it happens depends on a few factors. We outline some of the reasons an early general election is likely.

2:40 You slightly misrepresent the repeal of the FTPA here, before the FTPA it was entirely up to when the PM when an election could be called (ie. they could have terms as long as they liked), now the act that repealed FTPA also includes a provision that automatically dissolves parliament after 5 years, forcing the PM to call an election. So most of the provisions of FTPA are still there, it's just that the power of calling the election moved back to the PM.

I would love it if tldr made a video in which they just said "no" and end fill the rest with empty space.

The banking mafia would never allow Sunak to call an election unless they knew they could fix it.

This next election will be devastating for the tories regardless of wether they win. If the tories win they will have to deal with the fact that their election winning policies have alienated younger voters.

Sunak was second choice even amongst his own party. The man who lost to a woman who herself got beat by a lettuce, pathetic.

I doubt the Tories will call an election this year. Dying reptiles can crawl for miles before they expire. This lot have been in their death throws since Brexit

No i bloody hope not cant stand labour never rishi is now doing things people approve of so maybe by the time theres an election people will not vote for more ties with europe more immigrstion ie open borders i dont trust starmer at all

The only hope conservatives have are switching to Mogg with Boris' platform before the election
@MrBenoo08
December 18, 2023 at 12:22 pm
the answer is no, he wont. He has a plan to rile up the peasants by telling them that labour wants everyone to be called ze/zim and have 14 bins. saddest part is that it is working
@Ducbery
December 18, 2023 at 12:22 pm
no
@edmundoftheangles7977
December 18, 2023 at 12:22 pm
I think it is a bit of a strange claim to think that people voted conservative because of net zero commitments. Study after study shows that once net zero is explained topeople they dont want it

December 18, 2023 at 12:22 pm
He wouldn’t because with his record in democratic process he’d lose. I’m still amazed how he can talk about democracy when no one voted for him and hunt along with all these terrible policies and he is the biggest reason for inflation
@Evan.280
December 18, 2023 at 12:22 pm
Green policy is such bullshit. All it does is tax the hell out of people for no reason and wants to ruin driving normal cars. The Conservaties deserve to lose for failing time and again in the last few years. (I'm an American btw) But I will vote for anyone whos against climate doomerism, green policy, and who can call out the nonsense that is zero emissions

@Will0398
December 18, 2023 at 12:22 pm
It’s important to know that regardless of party, you can’t run as something you’re not. Starmer can’t only point out Sunak and the conservatives’ problems (many as there are) while not offering anything of substance himself.
@edsiebert5986
December 18, 2023 at 12:22 pm
people don't know what Starmer stands for as he doesn't stand for ANYTHING. I cannot and will not vote for the Starmer labour party….at least where I live the Green candidate stands a good chance so feel I can effectively vote for someone other than labour. If Labour were actually left wing in politics I may think differently.
@simonwilliams567
December 18, 2023 at 12:22 pm
They are most definitely in electioneering mode, though as the change in tone and policy announcements are not having an positive affect in the polls it may deter them, might be best if you get polled to say you'll vote Tory to encourage them to call a SNAP!!!
@frankhooper7871
December 18, 2023 at 12:22 pm
Very first sentence in the video is incorrect. The UK doesn't elect anyone as Prime Minister – we elect our members of parliament. The only people who elected Boris Johnson were those living in his constituency.
@waerlogauk

You didn't mention that the ULEZ expansion was a Tori policy forced on the mayor, though I suspect he was in favour of it.

One of the things I will respect boris for is actually being consistent with pushing green initiatives which actually benefit our children and grand children
But i still won’t ever vote conservative after the last 13years
@napoleonibonaparte7198
December 18, 2023 at 12:22 pm
Sunak is extrapolating too much from one data source, that one bye-election in London…
@ChrisPepper1989
December 18, 2023 at 12:22 pm
Perhaps we should all start pretending that we like the conservatives, to push up their polling so that sunak will finallu end this nonsense

I don’t think sunak will go to polls early as he got no chance of winning . Both parties are basically same thing an empty vessel void of any decent arguments or anyone who is beyond incompetent. All politicians today are less than there forebares

I personally hope NOT! I have been putting in a lot of calls over some sites for General Election in February or March of next year. I'm not a Conservative Party supporter – I haven't been that for just over 4 years! I just want those twits to sort themselves out and come up with sensible policies. My patience is wearing thin. I expect the announcement for that to be in November or December of this year. And the General Election campaign to start up in mid January of next year! I believe that Sunak's going to tough it out for now! I don't see an snap election announcement for this year! It would be unwise now because many will see it as a cop out! I'll summarily vote Liberal Democrat if that happens! I believe that a lot of people will !

UK's economy is in the dumpster. The second largest city, Birmingham, went bankrupt with more cities to follow. UK is now known throughout the world as a sick man of Europe.
