Why Britain Needs a General Election?

The correct answer is they also said that Britain needs an immediate general election. The boring constitutional argument is that the new prime minister merely needs to command the confidence of the House of Commons, which admittedly is easier said than done in the present circumstances. But since it looks as a couple of hundred conservative MPs might lose their seats, you can understand the conservative party's reluctance to go down the path of a general election. All the things that make an election arguably necessary are also reasons why it can't happen.
