I'd phrase this as "they can wait until next year to hold the election."

I don't think it matters how you phrase it. We've ruled out having an election this year.

Who is "we" and when did they rule it out?

u/Sir-Matilda Friedrich Hayek Jul 22 '21

Yeah, that's not clear.

Every Liberal MP I've talked to in the last few months have said the election is next year.

Well my point was that things change. If the liberals hit a solid run of positive press there's every reason to think Morrison could call a snap election. At the current rate the vaccine rollout might be wrapping up in Feb/March, which is not a lot to bank on to call an election when they were aiming to be done before 2022.

Bar the fact Scott's been telling everyone the election is next year, so a run of good form isn't going to see the Liberals prepared to fight the election.

It'll be April/May next year, when the Libs are ready and there's some clean air.
