April 2023 hardly qualifies as an "early election", does it?
I know it's some way in the future but it's technically a year early as the next election is May 2024.
CL may have heard rumours of an even earlier election (Dec 21?) that I haven't though.
Right but a Parliament running its entire term is a relatively recent phenomenon and generally tends to happen when a government's desperately running out the clock in the hope their opponents might lose a twenty-point lead. I would consider an election in 2023 to be the baseline scenario here.
