- 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.

The King has granted this request and we will have elections! 😂
UK is unique democracy!
Maybe.
Their parliament is sovereign.
yet more democratic nd more freedom for all citizens than urs.
Check press freedom index
Britain politicians need to learn to fix own house rather than lecturing the rest of the world
No country is perfect
It's called debate and discussion - noone is lecturing anyone.
Speaking as a Brit we don’t actually want them to be fixated on other countries either. Why are we giving aid to a country with a space programme for example? I have a lot of respect for our Indian friends and getting your point of view but be careful about complaining too loudly on this subjects if you are self-interested! 😉
@@clairee4939 as if you got those 'finance' in a very humane and jenuine way...mehhh!!!
@@debarjundutta8912 Yeah yeah, here it comes. 😉 Except Britain’s wealth came about through trade and the Industrial Revolution and has been kept through banking and insurance. Yes a few families became very rich through plundering but in general the British empire was running at a loss at its hight as was pointed out by Adam Smith who also criticised the East India Company’s monopoly and mismanagement of India and the suffering that caused to Indian people. He proposed a commonwealth at the hight of the empire but he concluded that national pride would prevent any country voluntarily giving up her own empire! Helps to know the other side of this story about how evil we were supposed to be! Haha😜
I love the news reports from this lady.
Clear, concise and not afraid to give an opinion.
More please.
I need to follow; because when they mov´, a lot of changes in function of the lead.
Sunak Rishi MUST get out NOW
Britain can't fix there own country, how can they dictate to anyone else?
Sunak did well to force out Harry Farage Kane (the top scorer in UK elections) - after RS worked out that Farage was going to be in USA on independence day July 4th, kissing the yankee flag with Trump
4th of July elections? Ain’t that independence day of the U.S lol.
Yeah, he will be on flight there also, by the time flight lands in America he can still have some turkey.
@@michaelc821 what about you
@@NavinShah-nk1tv ?
I think Rishi rather lose the election rather than resign, bcoz he is the most unpopular PM in British history so far. Ppl of the UK are fed up of him and want him gone asap.
really even worse than SADIQ KHAN.
It will be so funny if the conservative wins again. My family and i believe its been the best decade ever. Especially for our business. My parents own a small consultancy company and we applied for the furlough scheme, It was great we didnt have to spent a single penny paying our employees. The money that we saved as a company helped my sister to buy a small 5 bedrooms villa in turkey. It comes with wsimming pool, jacuzzi and all that jazz. Its great! We are thankful on the Great Britain Government helping us out. This is why this country is GREATT
Imagine being more unpopular than Liz Truss. How humiliating
BRING BACK LIZ TRUSS
When the PM of UK stands in the rain and says election that means he has been told to do so, not his choice
Award for most stupid comment goes to you
Agreed... I think that Sir Graham Brady told him that there are nearly enough letters of No confidence, and that it would be best to go for an immediate General Election ( 4th July )... The fact that some of the Ministers didn't know, suggests that he quickly told ONLY his ' inner circle ' of maybe 10 people...?
Sunak realized that his team would not be able to play the full inning so declared inning gave batting to the Labour Party and asked the team members to go for practicing fielding for the next five years.
All those crisis destroying the British economic was gain business for the Toris 😔🕊🙏🏻
It's Sunak's wet googly full toss .
No-one knows what it is because it's going to get hit before it can pitches and rain stops play.
rain stops play
Karma for Sunak Cabinet colleagues call him a "fool" and he got totally soaked. Good riddance to the accidental PM that nobody wanted.
BRING BACK LIZ TRUSS
@@NavinShah-nk1tvhow about an entirely new party?
@@SrAuNzstarmer???
He isn't the best , but still better than most tory members.
@SrAuNz No one on the Tory is more inept and awkward and foolish than standing in rain panicking Sunak.
Starmer "had a good time" with drugs just wants to validate himself with a hard drugs Cocaine and Heroin possession laws. He is not a liar and does make pledges but "offers" for when they never happen. He is dangerous in a different way but very self preservational and not a fool.
Britain is very racist towards rishi sunak
I remember Conservatives/Tories turning off street lights, contributing to higher crime; lowering the frequency of trash pick-ups, causing an increase in health issues; NHS services suffering due to cuts; draconian benefits reforms. etc. I am voting Labor because I suffered a lot under Conservatives' reign.
under labor will be even worse!
lol labour also did this when they were in where I live. I don’t think they’ll be fighting the general election on issues that local much as the claim “Only the Conservatives can Save Your Bin Collections” on my doormat gave me a chuckle a few weeks ago.
“but Labour” is all they’ve got after 14 years of Tory disaster. Pathetic.
He just wants to be out so that he can go and enjoy himself. He got enough money for and he knows British people has had enough of him.
Sunak means well to call the Election in July. We have India America South Africa.we do not know for Canada if there will be elections as yet also Taiwan had elections and Iran moving into mode .Could this be the global trend of elctions much needed for leaders to be elected. Keep up the good work Palki
I don't understand why Indian so proud with other Indians become other country's prime ministers than to develop their own country India.
Sunak used 4th July to call the election, the knives were cutting deep. Canada,Trudee, another tyrant that will gone next election followed by Macron, changes everywhere.
Sunak couldn't be arsed anyway!
The king has granted this request😂😂.... Who's the slave here
Works very similarly in India.
President - Head of State
Prime Minister - Head of Government
If the parliament needs to be dissolved. The prime minister goes to the president to request it…
@@TeluguConsultancyKumarbut that president is selected by elected member unlike hereditary transition in UK
@@strategicindian
Democracy in the UK is certainly better than India.
India is on the road to a dictatorship. Imprisoning an opposition leader, freezing the assets of an opposition party, etc.
@@TeluguConsultancyKumar You have no idea what happens across the world...!
Nah we just cringe at the thought of a President Blair or President Thatcher and are relieved that the king/queen has to keep their politics to themselves and represent the whole nation. We are not raving monarchists. It just fills a hole in the constitution nicely so we’ll leave it alone. Haha
Googly or Full toss but batsmen should pick it otherwise they ll be thowing their wickets 😉
I think he is okay with loosing the election instead of getting sacked.
He’s tired
surely he can lead with heavy majority
cope harder he is losing by a landslide
What heavy majority are you talking about? Since he became PM of UK his government lost huge number of Parliament seats in both local elections.
Even majority of British Indians either voted for Labour Party or didn't vote at all in this month's local election.
@@shruttikhaz5486are you from BHIKARISTAN or PORKISTAN
Navin, Bhikharistan or Porkistan must be where you come from. I always was a British citizen since a baby and am a British Indian Hindu.
No Navin. I am not from Bhikharistan or Porkistan towns of gujarat. Gadheda, I am a British Indian Hindu
You guys really have a CLOWN prime minister to be honest 😂😂😂😂 he is there not for the people, he is there to create his Biography book with the title :
SUNAK - THE PRIME MINISTER 😂😂😂😂😂😂
But in history he will be placed and known as failed and useless prime minister of UK & for UK citizens too
Are you A JOKER
@@NavinShah-nk1tv I Am Not, your Britain Politician Are. 😂😂😂
Smart player sunak
Rubbish player..
Labour Party is going to form the government for sure. Sunak’s defeat is inevitable due to the anti incumbency against the ruling party.
It's time for the UK to get a proper Prime Minister again.
Of course he went ahead, nothing stop's due to the rain in the UK
As Prime Minister he has the RIGHT to call an election, all he needed was the agreement of the King.
He wasn't finance minister, he was Chancellor of the Exchequer .. let's talk about Politic's in YOUR COUNTRY .. NO?
Thought not
Easy there Tigress. She wasn’t attacking us.
This time people of uk intelligent for their future?😀
Well I just came from UK, seems will be hard for Sunak to come out on top, but Sunak is a worker so will be thankful the options available at the moment on competitors camps
British DECLINE is gradual, but constant and consisten, by the time your kids have grown up it is completelly different country in negative sence, there is no stopping of this decline in sight. UK became LAUGHING STOCK in 20 years time
cry
He can do it.
Cope Harder
Before the Sunak family fortunes disappear from the UK, HMRC needs to confiscate dodged taxes and add penalties.
Sunak and Truss need to undertake to claim no PM pension rights on grounds of brevity of tenure and the legality of making Cameron a peer then Foreign Secretary must be judged upon.
Given the immoderate and false statements by Cameron and Shapps, both must resign immediately from politics. Shapps as a private citizen without MP protections must face charges of business malpractice and aliases as well as altering factual data.
Cameron's Greensil lobbying must now be given prominence as charges of malfeasance.
Can we make you the next investigator here so that we are able to get all our money back from Sunak and his cronies? Its weird how good plans like these are ignored
Mr Sunak studied the economy, bought inflation down, but failed to stop the boats. Some accuse Conservatives as more of Labour! Anti incumbency factor will have disastrous consequences for Conservatives. The question is whether Labour has the leadership to grow the economy and stop the boats?
Inflation down was a gimmick for his announcement. Con artist, bank of England. Truss done nothing wrong. The rich didn't like what she was doing, so crash the market.
It must be tiring having people constantly walk away from you
@@anyvoicespeaks or so tiring that I have to stand in the rain on my own without a brolly to give a worthless speech .
@@michaelc821REALLY PAPPU
imagine labour again?
Not with Starmer at the helm.
This is a great day for the General Elections; the United States of America's Independence Day. I wonder why this day was picked. Was this date picked in order to remind Britain that some people had enough of the British government?
Sunak is a scared bunny! Better now than later. Both parties are sick.
Rishi sunak is a winner and made it to the top of the mountain, unfortunately it's the racist in Britain that don't like him
@@ukindian8533but they do like his money 🤑 💰 which is the one of the reason keep the British parliament to not become a beggar .
@@ukindian8533dude when will you guys stop paying the race card???😂

It may be full toss like harshal Patel dipping in and hot the stumps you never know
sunak is Chankya
Because he is heading to California.
Why are you not reporting on Porsche case
PM Modi understands well, his duty stands towards India and Indian citizens, not towards other countries & not towards foreign mugrants or illegal migrants.
This is what Rishi as PM of UK did not want to understand even when citizens told him so.
US needs a Starmer too
You already have one low energy boring guy

Indian mayor , Indian prime minister ….. what country are we in ? Is this England ??????
Pakistani mayor dude!
@@anangshabaruah Indian doctors , teachers , off licence , supermarkets , everywhere ! Putting their hearts into this country ! God bless them
@@lj9497Rishi sunak isn't prime minister of Britain he is prime minister of United Kingdom and England is one of the country which is under considered as part of United Kingdom. By the way as I heard he was born in England and raised in England I guess. And if he didn't exist British parliament would become beggar none of British parliament member like him but do like his money 🤑💰
Are you Indian? We are honestly not anti-Indian. I never hear complaints about Richi being “Indian” However most Brits, including many British Asians, do feel that mass uncontrolled immigration is a problem and is not sustainable.
You are a racist and racists aren’t known for their facts
King ? Still a fool democracy
Sunak unelected prime minsiter
The Turkey will be ready for him in the USA, 4th July independence ,Will Smith will keep the aliens at bay for him.
Time for him and his millions, go back to california. The un elected one.

Both are going to get booted by the electorate.
Man this presenter is so biased and unbalanced.
Labor couldn't build a sand castle or anyone in the conservative party, however they are both good at demolition.
That's the plan. Illegals are here to overwhelm the system for introduction of CBDC.
While all the Africans are in the West, the cabal will bring in Chinese and Indians to Africa to do the jobs as these countries are overpopulated. Semi military gov.'s loyal to cabal will keep control there, whilst in the West, digital ID & money will control EVERYTHING! Such is the greed for power, control & money.
He decided to get it over with. Standing in the rain was for the optics
Couldn't organise an umbrella on a wet day.
Actually he dug his own grave he doesn't have that PM material quality throw him out.
