YouTube Description
as posted by the channelRishi Sunak won't call for a general election because “why would turkeys vote for Christmas” – Ben Walker.
Anoosh Chakelian, Ben Walker and Jill Rutter discuss why the public wants a general election and why it won’t be getting one soon.
After Liz Truss only lasted 44 days as Prime Minister a majority of voters, “including a good number of conservative voters” now want a general election, Walker argues.
Anoosh Chakelian reports that members of the public felt that “there was no legitimacy in the Conservative Party anymore.” Adding to that Chakelian observed a “sense of betrayal” amongst voters who felt that, after Boris Johnson’s ousting, the Conservative Party had turned against its 2019 manifesto.
