so, when gordon brown toyed with the idea of an election in october 2007, he was clearly doing it in his interest. when theresa may went in 2017, two years after the general election, in whose interest are you doing this? and i think the problem that rishi sunak had, which i'm not sure he ever realised, that had he gone beyond the summer, then there have only been three times in the last 50 years when an election has been held outside the april to sort of summer window. and there's been really good reasons. there were emergency. there were special reasons. and i always thought the problem that he would have is if he went beyond the summer, it'd be a bit weird. aren't there normal times? why are you doing it now? i suppose the mild counter to that in terms of the comparison with 2017 is that we're in the last few months of a parliament as opposed to going two years in halfway through. and so you're deciding between a handful of months as opposed to deciding to go as gordon brown might have done three years early or as theresa may did. it's a similar kind of three years early. but, i m
