The Fun Factory Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 If it is July the tories should pay for the election as they could have held in May and got it out of the way rather than stinking up the place for two more months. I am still dubious unless Sunak has a nice job lined up in Silicon Valley with a September start date and thought best to sack off his current gig.

one_ian_taylor Posted May 22 VT Supporter Share Posted May 22 Lots of talk of Sunak waiting for some kind of feel good factor. Announcing the election may well provide that... but not in the way he is hoping. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Is Sunak thinking his plan to get inflation down is good enough for everyone to forgive them and vote for another 5 years of Tory rule? The fact the “plan” was to do nothing is just a detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact the “plan” was to do nothing is just a detail. Something I saw on Twitter, I forget posted by whom - but ignoring all the evidence around you, and assuming that because the data says that you are making things better, people will be grateful and thank you by voting for you again REALLY feels like the sort of thing that Sunak would think and do. "Inflation is now back at the Bank of England's target, just like I wanted it to be! Now's the time to let the people show their appreciation for what I've managed to do!"

If they announce the GE date later I bet he mentions falling inflation in the same speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A vote for Labour in July would be catastrophic, and in a matter of months, autumn will set in. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
