Under the Dissolution and Calling of Parliament Act 2022, the prime minister retains full discretion to call a general election at any time before the automatic deadline around mid-August 2029. Traders watch polling trends, internal party dynamics, and economic indicators for signs of an opportunistic early contest, though the recent fragmentation of voter support across multiple parties makes timing highly uncertain. Upcoming by-elections and further polling will likely shape near-term expectations.
