00:00 You talked earlier about removing the power for a tourist to sign on to an election.
00:07 Is that a good job?
00:08 Yeah, I think people are fed up of waiting for a general election.
00:12 They want change.
00:14 And it really shouldn't be in the power of the Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, to call that.
00:19 He's clinging on to power, desperate for something to turn up.
00:22 That's not right.
00:23 So we're going to propose a new law next week,
00:26 that the power to call a general election is taken away from the Prime Minister,
00:29 given back to Parliament,
00:31 and that we should have a general election on May 2nd, when it should be.
