Those in Team Sunak who fear MPs’ reaction to a local elections drubbing are calling for an early summer general election
‘MPs mulling a guaranteed defeat think they owe Sunak little, and reason that a further roll of the dice might be their only chance’
Third, he may hope that waiting maximises the chance of the economy – and the polls – turning a corner. The conventional wisdom could be right. It’s entirely possible Sunak will plump for 14 November, or even hold on right until the last moment just because he likes Downing Street and wants time to ban some more, as-yet unspecified, stuff.. The coming fortnight is the period of maximum risk that one might be declared. The logic of not going to the country when every pollster agrees that voters are gagging to give you a shoeing, is sound.
But what use is that if Tory MPs rebel and either turf Sunak out or throw his administration into chaos with a leadership challenge in the meantime? But it isn’t up to me – MPs mulling a guaranteed election defeat think they owe Sunak little, and reason that a further roll of the dice might be their only chance.
