You would know better than I how far down the garden path the British citizenry have been led. How likely is it that the current folks in power would nix elections rather than risk being ousted in light of the polling?
Here in the US, the Democrat Party tried desperately to stack elections, which worked their first go-round, but had an extreme backlash the second time they tried it, as folks had gotten on to their scheme. Now they have fallen back to Plan B, Lawfare and trying to psychologically poison the well.
ETA: For clarification, when I say "The Democrat Party", what I really mean is "The American Left". While the Left certainly included Democrats, it also included so-called "Progressives" (Socialists in Sheep's Clothing),and also Neocons (AKA "RINOs", also Socialists in Sheep's Clothing). Irving Kristol, one of the founders of the Neocons, is famously quoted to have said "Neocons are simply disaffected Socialists", so I'm not making that assessment up by any means.
The Cheney clan, the Bush boys, and the likes of Adam Kinzinger are some of the more famous examples of Neocons. As is said in the Bible, "you shall know them by their fruits".
