Tense Meeting Reveals Concerns
During a recent private meeting, senior Tory MPs advised Prime Minister Rishi Sunak against calling a May general election, as revealed by Trending In The News.
Men in Grey Suits Speak Up
The influential 1922 Committee Executive, representing Conservative backbenchers, expressed strong reservations about the idea of going to the polls on May 2, labeling it as "barking mad."
Division within the Committee
While some members suggested aligning the general election with May's local elections to mitigate potential losses, others warned of the dangers of an early election and the risks it could pose to the Prime Minister.
Majority Opt for Autumn Election
Despite differing opinions within the committee, a senior Tory source indicated that the majority of backbenchers prefer to wait until autumn for the next election, citing significant potential shifts in the political landscape.
Speculations and Working Assumptions
Downing Street insiders downplayed the likelihood of a May general election, with Mr. Sunak maintaining that the "working assumption" is for an election in the second half of the year. Party strategists are eyeing October as the most probable date, hoping for an economic recovery to boost their standing against Labour.
