Ireland to Hold Early Election as Harris Pounces on Poll Lead.

(Bloomberg) -- Ireland will hold an early general election as Prime Minister Simon Harris takes advantage of favorable poll numbers and a slump in support for Sinn Fein, the main opposition party.Harris said a vote will take place on Nov. 29, even though he's not required to hold an election until March 2025. The announcement, which was widely expected, follows a giveaway budget in October that was seen as an effort to win over voters.©2024 Bloomberg L.P.By Olivia FletcherReported by Author [Extracted from the article]
