Why don’t we know when the UK election is?
The UK will probably have a general election sometime this year but we still don’t know when so why not an election is called when the Prime Minister asked the king to dissolve parliament which basically means ending the current term of parliament this has to happen at least every 5 years but sometimes it
Happens sooner all MPS then lose their status and have to campaign to be reelected from the date Parliament is dissolved it’s then 25 working days till the general election so it’s basically up to the UK prime minister Rishi sunak when we have the next election the latest day Parliament can be dissolved
Is on the fifth anniversary of the day it first met so this year that would be the 17th of December that means the latest possible date for a vote would be the 28th of January 2025 but Mr sunak said he will dissolve parliament earlier than that and that
There will be a vote this year some experts say that means it could be in November but it really can happen anytime
There will most likely be a general election at some point in 2024, but we don’t know exactly when. So, why not? Sky’s political correspondent Serena Barker-Singh explains.

🤔 No election, no Kate. WHAT'S GOING across the Pond⁉️

The whole system is ready to make Starmer PM, even the speaker is working for it. This is not democracy, this is a selection by the system not by people. Vote anyone but Starmer
It’s because the date hasn’t been announced.
