There is speculation that Rishi Sunak will call a general election today:

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2024/may/22/labour-tories-police-prison-overcrowding-crisis-pmqs-rishi-sunak-keir-starmer-uk-politics-latest-updates

Will he do so?

Any of the following will be sufficient for the market to resolve to YES:

  • Rishi Sunak announces that he will be asking the King to dissolve Parliament for a general election

  • Rishi Sunak announces the date for a general election

  • A government official acting on behalf of Rishi Sunak announces a date or announces a general election

  • The King (or his spokesperson) announces that he is dissolving Parliament for a general election

If this does not happen by midnight tonight, this market resolves to NO.

If you're watching the live coverage, I hope you're enjoying hearing "Things Can Only Get Better" drowning out his announcement!

@SimonGrayson British politics is many things, but it certainly ain’t boring…

Wow - this market has shot up!

At 2:00 we were below 15% and now it's above 75%!
