Nearly every government around the world (left, right, or other) that was in power during COVID and especially the inflationary period that followed it is being voted out. Voters are myopic and make emotional choices.
Resigning is a power move because it may allow people to see the Carney government as untainted by that, and thus allow the LPC to continue to rule despite this global overturn of government. If voters are so super concerned about the economy (that year over year just magnifies the wealth disparity, but whatever) then having England’s head banker in charge does sound like an angle they can sell.
