Rishi Sunak's decision to call a general election six months earlier than required has all the hallmarks of desperation to save a sinking ship. Britain's fifth Conservative prime minister in 14 years has failed to restore his party's credibility after Liz Truss's chaotic premiership gifted Labour a chance to claim the mantle of 'stability.' He has already seen 78 of his current MPs declare that they won't be standing for reelection.
For Keir Starmer, the prime minister's residence at 10 Downing Street seems within easy reach. But Britain's political waters are far from calm, and the ship Starmer's steering has already been badly damaged by the course he has chosen. Starmer had no intention of honoring his pledges, filling his cabinet with Blair acolytes and abandoning most of his predecessor's radical approach.
