Why has Rishi Sunak Called for Elections Now? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

British prime minister Rishi Sunak has announced snap elections amid growing discontent with his Conservative government. Though the party has ruled for 14 years, recent scandals and sluggish economic growth have made them unpopular. Opinion polls suggest a 20-point lead and a possible landslide win for the opposition Labour party. Sunak appears to have caught his allies and rivals by surprise as his partymen were hoping for an election towards the end of 2024. The prime minister has pitched himself as the man who led Britain through multiple crises, first as finance minister and then prime minister. Will British voters buy his complicated pitch? Or will they vote the Conservatives out? Palki Sharma tells you.
