'Rishi Sunak has made the best of a very bad situation,' says John Fund

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."
