    There’s 5 years between elections unless the ruling party calls one early so a pm resigning doesn’t help but calling an election early and winning does. We’re still on the clock from Johnson’s 2019 landslide win - which he called 3 years early because they were way ahead in the polls. Truss and Sunak didn’t call early elections because they already had a big majority and would probably lose seats.
