Why would the Government call an early election when they are highly likely to lose? Are you suggesting lots of their MPs could vote no confidence, even though it might cost them their seats?

Your post does make sense, on the basis of current polls. For that reason, there is a 'Boris Restoration' moment taking place, which, assuming Boris Johnson wants to run, is based on the argument that he is popular with the party and enough of the country to win another election. The problem is that he has soiled his relations with the Parliamentary Party and some claim his return as leader could split the Party. The more obvious question is what policy changes would he make that would revive the Conservative Party's prospects at the polls? Jeremy Hunt has already shredded most of the 'Mini-budget', and the Bank of England may rescue the Party from doom by raising interest rates to a lower than expected level, but the fiscal problems remain and it is assumed whoever becomes Prime Minister will have to propose cuts to departmental budgets.

On that basis, Boris Johnson could be PM of a divided party that doesn't like him, or his policies. Can it continue to govern for another 2 years? And again, if it is Boris, his arrogance could well induce him to call an Election just to prove he has the election winning magic no other politician has.

So a lot depends on who runs this week -Sunak, Johnson, Mordaunt and possible Ben Wallace. And then the reactions of the Parliamentary Party.

Are you still having nonsense conversations with yourself? You need treatment if so.

While I appreciate you taking the time to read my posts, I am disappointed that you never really engage in a debate and give us your opinion with some detail, rather than the dismissive comments you seem to prefer.

The most famous of the recent losers in the English Conservative movements -let's not call it a party, as there are now 6 parties within the party- has published a book, which is what most politicians do these days, win or lose.

It is called

Ten Years to Save the West. Lessons From The Only Conservative In The Room.

Presumably the smallest room in the house, where she holds forth to those interested in what she has to say.

And the sewage continues to flow into the UK's rivers and streams.
