The actual straightforward fix isn't available to us - namely, we aren't due a general election until 2029 and right now the "good guys" are in power, so it's not at all clear that anyone would even offer to reverse this TCN if they were elected instead, in 4 years time.
At least the US hasn't postponed the general elections to keep the unpopular party in power.

Neither has the UK government.
* It wasn't the general election.
* They offered local councils the chance to request it if they were going through a reorganisation or devolution process.
* 18 councils requested and 9 were accepted as justified.
* And even those are only delayed until May next year (one year after the rest of the UK).
So to be clear the UK government not only didn't postpone the general elections but half the councils who requested the local elections were postponed were denied, with the other half having reasons and still doing it a year later anyway.
And all that is actually covered in the page you link to.
yes, and they're totally not fighting on multiple fronts against central govt, those in the areas they're trying to run deciding that the civil service can now be a political arm of the left or from having to boot the actual racists in sheep's clothing from the party. I'm not defending any party here, I'm even highlighting some of reforms worse issues. But you have to admit it's not apples and oranges when comparing their performance so far with a cushy little on-the-Thames millionaires cul-de-sac.
If there was a general election today, who exactly could we vote for?
Trade union organising with the threat of nationwide industrial action would work regardless of which flavour of Tory is in power, though.
