Assuming an election much earlier than Jan 2025 is unlikely, there may be considerable alignment across the political spectrum:
The immediate national interest is best served by responsible conventional fiscal management protecting UK reputation, reducing interest rates (mortgages and govt debt), protecting the most vulnerable from energy and inflationary shocks, restoring stability to the business environment.
Problems have been made worse by an inept Truss/Kwarteng experiment, but a high level of debt and inflation was unavoidable by any administration following covid and Ukraine.
Whether "Sunak/Hunt/Morduant" or "Stamer, Reeves" would do better is debatable - they will both be faced with the same realities with few options. UK is one of the highest taxed of similar countries, running a deficit with very limited headroom for grand ideas.
The big risk that Tory MPs nominate another loon or Boris. Party members seem detached from reality - they may vote on dogma for continued chaos, or the persuasive liar with baggage. Either would ensure the Tories lose the next election (whenever it is)!
We all need to get used to the idea that we are entirely unable to influence the outcome unless a Tory MP or Tory party member. We will know the answer in a few days' time!
