Rishi Sunak
Welcome to Keir Starmer, the new PM of Britain, goodbye to Rishi Sunak
In the UK, the 14-year rule of the Conservative Party has come to an end as the Labour Party returns to power. On July 4, 2024, a general election was held in Britain. Various polls had already been indicating that the Conservative Party would face a major defeat in this election, and the Labour Party would emerge victorious. The election on July 4 confirmed this prediction with a decisive victory for the Labour Party, and Keir Starmer has been inaugurated as the new Prime Minister of Britain. For the first time since 1945, a general election was held in the UK in the month of July. In this election, for the first time, voters were required to show photo ID or identification pictures before casting their votes. In the UK, the term of an elected government lasts for five years. The Conservative Party won the 2019 election. According to the rules, the next general election was due to be held by January 2025.
Can Rishi Sunak secure another term as UK prime minister?
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has announced an early general election at least six months before the end of the current government's term in Britain. After much speculation, on May 22nd, from 10 Downing Street, the announcement was made that the national election would be held on July 4th. But why is Rishi Sunak suddenly calling for an early election? Many had hoped the national election would be held in the fall as scheduled, allowing Prime Minister Sunak to remain in office for two years and providing him with a significant opportunity for economic progress. However, that expectation remains unfulfilled. It is clear that the decision was hanging by a thread.
