Writer and Broadcaster Esther Krakue says a snap election would do little to improve Britain’s fortunes, arguing voters face a political landscape dominated by dysfunction and division. “I don’t necessarily think there’s going to be a good outcome either way,” Ms Krakue told Sky News host Jaimee Rogers. “Reform, from what I’m seeing from the party structure and the inside machinery of Reform, I don’t think it's ready. “The Tories are still in freefall, although Kemi Badenoch has kind of put a plaster over that wound momentarily, and she actually, by polling, is the most popular leader in the country at the moment. “The Lib Dems are still perpetually useless and don’t stand for anything. “The Greens are a laughingstock and haven’t even mentioned anything about the environment in a while. “And the Labour Party is a dumpster fire on wheels. “A general election will just make people feel worse about this country.”
