Somehow I can’t quite imagine a Prime Minister’s election calling soundbite including the phrase “the provisions of the Representation of the People Act” any more. Nor indeed the response of the major parties to an election been called to be having special meetings of senior party figures. None of this modern flying start stuff.

True, but this was an unexpected snap election called soon after a previous election in which the Govt had been re-elected with a smaller majority (despite their gerrymandering change to the voting system).
Hard to have a flying start when you weren’t in any way ready to launch.
