The book explores the paradox of Prime Ministers in parliamentary systems, who, despite having the power to call elections at opportune moments, often still face defeat. Alastair Smith presents an informational theory that connects the timing of election calls to the outcomes of those decisions. He analyzes the challenges leaders encounter in leveraging their electoral timing advantage, revealing that even popularity and weak opposition do not guarantee success in elections.
