Right up until 2030 when they push it back to 2045.

2030 would be an election year as were 2035 I don't think they'd want to push it back on an election year.

Anyway by the time 2035 rolls around a lot of cars will probably be electric already and it'll be less of an issue.

Depends on whether or not there is a snap election this year…

I'm fairly sure that even if there's a snap election this year the election after that will be in 2030. Doing it early will just hand the new government a few extra months of power, it doesn't calculate forward from the last election it's just every 5 years regardless of what else is going on.
