I’m fairly sure that even if there’s a snap election this year the election after that will be in 2030. Doing it early will just hand the new government a few extra months of power, it doesn’t calculate forward from the last election it’s just every 5 years regardless of what else is going on.
A parliament has a maximum term of 5 years. Any change to the date of the next election will have a direct impact on the latest date of the next election.
But this is a future election that won’t occur for over a decade, and remember this will potentially have occurred after 10 years of left wing politics. Combine that with the fact that people are quite sensitive about environmental issues already, and that’s going to only increase over the next 11 years.
Right up until 2030 when they push it back to 2045.
2030 would be an election year as were 2035 I don’t think they’d want to push it back on an election year.
Anyway by the time 2035 rolls around a lot of cars will probably be electric already and it’ll be less of an issue.
Depends on whether or not there is a snap election this year…

Not sure I agree. Drivers are a significant voting bloc in any election. It’ll always pay off to placate them.
