Upcoming election
Can someone please add something that explains why Sunak has called for new elections at this time? -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:31, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
- Never mind: I've added something. -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:53, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
Should US pronunciation be added?
Should the US pronunciation of Sunak's name, /ˈræʃi səˈnʊk/, be added as a footnote? — AjaxSmack 14:15, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- Why? Sunak's name is not pronounced /ˈræʃi.səˈnʊk/. Bazza 7 (talk) 14:51, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- Seems to be a US thing even at the highest levels. — AjaxSmack 14:22, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
- Biden made a gaffe (not unusual). It doesn't seem to be the US standard at all. Even if it was, why should it be in the article of the British prime minister? Tim O'Doherty (talk) 14:21, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- Seems to be a US thing even at the highest levels. — AjaxSmack 14:22, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
Curry house
This is quite trivial, but I’d suggest changing “curry house” to “high-end Indian restaurant” or just “Indian restaurant”. He worked at Kuti’s in Southampton, which is an award winning Indian fine dining restaurant. 2.102.96.76 (talk) 13:20, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- Both sources say "curry house", but the first one also gives the name, "Kuti's Brasserie", so I have used that instead. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 14:02, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- It describes itself these days as "Voted best Indian Restaurant in the UK - Winner TIFFIN CUP 2019 - Parliament" No OBE yet, then. Murgh Malabari - £14.95. Martinevans123 (talk) 14:12, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
Supporting conscription
Sunak supports returing conscription. I think it should be added. Reprarina (talk) 02:11, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- National service. Given that this was rolled out in the midst of an election campaign, it's fair to say he might not be saying this because he believes strongly in it. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 13:05, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- I agree with what @Tim O'Doherty said above. Regards MSincccc (talk) 14:22, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- It's not just conscription into the armed forces, but also local volunteering. There might be a lot of litter to pick up after the election - think of all those unwanted party leaflets and discarded manifesto pledges. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:19, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- In fact it's not conscription at all. Conscription means "the act or process of forcing people by law to join the armed services", and that's not the case here, military service is just one option. -- DeFacto (talk). 16:20, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- Wikipedia understands conscription precisely as the state-mandated enlistment of people in a national service, mainly a military service and uses Merriam-Webster's definition as the RS.--Reprarina (talk) 19:58, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, but this isn't. If this policy comes into being then people can choose either to spend a year in the military or spend a weekend a month on community service. However, it's not really relevant here: if Sunak really wanted this he would've made a bigger deal of it earlier. Are we going to report on the entire Conservative manifesto in this biography? Tim O'Doherty (talk) 20:08, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- And we don't even know the unnamed focus-group crypto Dom who actually suggested it as last-minute desperate Daily Mail-bait. Or am I just being biased? Martinevans123 (talk) 20:27, 28 May 2024 (UTC) Say what you like about old Dom Cums, at least he could see clearly what he was driving at.

Dissolution of Parliament
Parliament dissolved today and as such Rishi Sunak is no longer an MP. Could someone remove their MP post-nominal and update the article to reflect they are a candidate but not an MP. Recollect4741 (talk) 23:16, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
Sunak ministry picture
Can the picture of the Sunak ministry in the article be replaced with this one? It's a more up to date picture of the cabinet than the 2022 picture, and thus is a better representation of Sunak's cabinet. 150.143.27.147 (talk) 15:16, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
Error
The subject of this article is standing for re-election to the House of Commons of the United Kingdom.
This is an error. Not elected by the United Kingdom therefore the subject is unable to be re-elected.
Please amend, Thank you 146.198.51.219 (talk) 20:07, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 30 May 2024
In first sentence change "is a British politician who has" to "is a British politician and serial criminal who has". Evidence for serial criminality is at https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-61083402 and https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-64353054 2A00:23C6:1A5E:EE01:36:65E4:EE1B:22EF (talk) 21:28, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
You going to give a reason Tim?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C6:1A5E:EE01:36:65E4:EE1B:22EF (talk • contribs) Since you can't be bothered to give a reason Tim, what else am I to do but reopen the request?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C6:1A5E:EE01:36:65E4:EE1B:22EF (talk • contribs)
Has anyone praised you for your rudeness Tim? |
