>He's an utter cunt.
About right - not quite as much of a cunt as Johnson though. If Johnson had got the nod the party and government would probably have collapsed - 100% As it stands - they have an 80% chance of collapsing.
I don't think the factions in the party will be united under Sunak. I don't think they woukd have under Johnson either. Which is why they should call a GE - throw it back to the people but they won't

With parliamentary systems I always see people talking about "calling an election" - do they also happen automatically based on time or are they only called in certain circumstances?

They must happen every 4-5 years, but they can happen sooner, which restarts the countdown until another must be called.

That is how I always assumed it was but thought I'd ask for clarification, thank you!
