John Fund discussed Rishi Sunak's choice to call an election on GBN America

American journalist John Fund has claimed that UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has "made the best out of a bad situation" with his choice to call a general election.

The Prime Minister announced earlier this week that Brits would be going to the polls on the 4 July.

Speaking on GBN America, Fund said: "Well, parties survive because they will elect some seats.

"We're not going to see a repeat of the 1993 Canadian election, where the Conservative Party ended up with two seats nationwide.

"I think Rishi Sunak has made the best of a very bad situation. If he had waited another 4 or 5 months with poll numbers this bad, there would have been enormous pressure for Nigel Farage to enter the race."
