Meanwhile, the UK STILL doesn’t have a date for its general election, does it...

Why do you keep trying to make an issue of that? it’s not in the least unusual.There are still 8 months before the last date when an election can be held. It’s entirely normal for the sitting PM - especially one with a weak position as at present - to keep the opposition guessing at this stage in the cycle.

It’s up to the PM when he calls it

In fact, they had a “Fixed date Parliament Act” but I think Boris got rid of it after just a few years and one parliament

People prefer it this way. He has to call it within 5 years of the last one.
