In the United Kingdom, Thursday, July 5 (Chingash 15), opinion polls about the results of the parliamentary elections show that the Labor Party has won the election in a big way and Keir Starmer will be the next Prime Minister of Britain.
It seems that British Prime Minister Rishi Sonak’s opposition Labor Party is experiencing a major historic defeat.
Opinion polls show that the Labor Party has won 410 of the 650 seats in the parliament and will have a majority in the parliament. This will end the 14-year reign of the Conservative Party in Britain.
According to opinion polls, Rishi Sunak’s party won only 131 seats, they had 364 seats before the collapse of the parliament. This is the worst election performance for them in the history of this party.
In Great Britain, Prime Ministers have changed five times since 2016. Reports say that voters did not vote for the Conservative Party due to the political instability and high costs of daily life.
Pat McFadden, head of the Labor Party’s campaign affairs organization, said in a statement: “The future of Great Britain depended on votes in these elections. And if we win tonight, Labor will start working immediately and the first step will be for change.” The election slogan of this party was “change”.
According to the opinion polls, the British Liberal Democratic Party has won 61 seats, which will be the third largest party in the parliament in terms of the number of seats.
Similarly, the right-wing populist reformist party won 13 seats, the leader of this party, Nigel Farage, had campaigned for Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union.
In the elections, only the conservative party did not lose seats, according to the opinion polls, the Scottish independence party also won 10 seats. This is the lowest number of seats this party has won in the elections since 2010.
Polling stations in Great Britain opened on Thursday morning local time and closed at 10pm. The official number is scheduled to be announced on Friday morning UK time.
Some time ago, the British Parliament was dissolved before the election. British Prime Minister Rishi Sonak has set the date of the parliamentary elections on July 4th, while the elections were expected to be held at the end of the year. Viewers believe that he did this to regain power.
Earlier, there were speculations that the Labor Party would regain power after 14 years. 129 members of the dissolved parliament said that they would not run again, 77 of them were representatives of the conservative party.
