Two-Thirds of Brits Want General Election by Summer, New Poll Finds

 A Plurality of UK voters want the Tories to hold a General Election as soon as possible, new polling has found. 

Some 31% of respondents told the Deltapoll survey, conducted for the Mirror, that they wanted a new Westminster election as quickly as possible, while a further 19% said they wanted one by the spring, The National reported.

A further 16% of people said they wanted a vote in the summer, meaning two-thirds of British voters want an election before the autumn.

In total, just 9% said they would want to have the next General Election next autumn, while just 3% opted for next winter.

Under law, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak must hold an election before January 2025. Many expect the Tories to drag out their tenure into next autumn, although some have suggested they may opt for an early election in late spring.
