I think there is also a question of how much can a country change before it's better to just go back to the public and say that you need a new mandate.

It'll be disingenuous to hold the Tories to everything in the 2019 manfesto after COVID, after Ukraine and with high inflation across the world. That's why I think parties should govern to a theme/idea rather than explicitly the words as written in a prior time.

However, if the change is so fundamental that it requires a fundamental shift in governing approach then wouldn't it be healthier to seek a new mandate?
