Eerily reminiscent of David Cameron calling for a Brexit referendum.
More similar to Sunak calling the current General Election. It's very unlikely they will win but they have to do something rather than let it get even worse!
Nah I dunno, Sunak had to call an election within the next few months, and economically this was the best time - just after a slight fall in inflation, which will only go back up again by the end of the summer.
With Marcon here, he's in a pretty secure position, I don't believe he needs to call an election within the next few months and he seems to only be doing it to have some sort of "round 2" that he blindly hopes he'll win. That, to me, reminds me more of Cameron.
