UK Prime Minister rules out early elections

The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Rishi Sunak, has ruled out plans to call early general elections, claiming that “it is not what the country wants”, so in principle he is sticking to the plan that foresees elections at the beginning of 2025, despite the internal criticism within the Conservative Party.

The ‘Tory’ conference in Manchester has revealed internal cracks, led among other personalities by former Prime Minister Liz Truss, who has insisted in her messages in favor of a tax cut, although it was precisely her failed tax plan that cost her the placed at the head of the Government.

Sunak has advocated “continuing” with his current work, without surprises, and although he said in an interview with Sky News that he is not afraid to subject his management to the verdict of the polls, for now he is not contemplating it.

The polls place the Labor Party with a wide advantage, which aspires to re-emerge after the comfortable majority achieved in 2019 by the then ‘Tory’ leader, Boris Johnson, now removed from the political front line after a cascade of scandals around him.

“It is not what the country wants,” Sunak declared. “What people want is for politicians to improve their lives,” added the Downing Street tenant, who assumed the reins of the Executive in November 2022 after an accelerated internal process.

Sunak, in fact, responded with “of course” to the question about his possible interest in remaining prime minister after future elections.
