After a tumultuous few weeks in British politics, the question has been raised whether the UK should hold a general election. It comes as Liz Truss has resigned as Prime Minister in the midst of economic instability and plummeting approval ratings.

Ms Truss had a difficult few weeks in the top role, with last month's mini-budget resulting in the pound crashing followed by a number of government reversals in an effort to ease panicking markets. With the door now closed on her premiership, the Tory party plans to choose a new leader by Friday, October 28.

But is it time for the public to decide? Do you think a general election should be held in the UK? Let us know in the poll above or have your say in the comments below.
