    What do we need to do to force a general election?

      We can not force an election. His own MPs can cast a vote of no confidence though.

      He has just took a historic defeat and is under pressure from his own party. This is to stave off that VONC from the Truss group who have threatened to vote down any budget that does not give tax cuts to the wealthy. Sunak doesn’t care about upsetting the public. He knows no matter what he does now he will loose the election. He has his sights on the India for a large pay out.

        Yeah that’s what I thought. Doesn’t feel right for a democracy though.

        Hopefully one of the Tory back benchers, perhaps one of the Truss group, will Matt Gaetz the place up for us.

            Yeah I’m just hoping they won’t be satisfied with that.

      remove 26plus tories.

      So basically you cant. Once a party gets a clear magority. Those common post 2010 elections your used to. Well they ended in 2019.

      26th jan 2025 (i think) or when the tories think is best for them is the only option now.
