Election in United Kingdom: According to BBC poll, Labour Party wins landslide victory over Conservatives and Keir Starmer will be the next Prime Minister.

According to an exit poll conducted by the BBC, the British Labour Party will win a landslide victory in the parliamentary elections held this Thursday in the United Kingdom.

If the predictions are correct, Labour will win 410 of the 650 seats in the British Parliament, while the ruling Conservative Party will win 131 seats, recording its worst result in history.

like this, Labour leader Keir Starmer, 61, will replace Conservative Rishi Sunak to become the next prime minister of the United Kingdom.

Upon learning of the survey figures, Starmer expressed his gratitude to all those who worked and voted for his party.

“Thank you to everyone who campaigned for the Labour Party in this election, to everyone who voted for us and to everyone who trusted our changed Labour Party,” he wrote in a message on X.

The Labour Party will return to power after 14 years of Conservative governments

More than the majority needed in the House of Commons (326) to be able to govern alone.

These elections represent a collapse for the Conservatives, just after they achieved a historic victory in the December 2019 elections, when Boris Johnson won a landslide majority.

It was the Conservative Party’s best result since 1987, when Margaret Thatcher governed.

In the United Kingdom, a parliamentary system governs, unlike Latin America, where most systems are presidential. Therefore, the leader of the party that wins the majority of seats in parliament becomes the prime minister.

Starmer was elected to replace Jeremy Corbyn as leader of the Labour Party in 2020. He was previously a human rights lawyer and the Director of Public Prosecutions, the most senior criminal prosecutor in England and Wales.

According to the exit poll conducted by BBC, Labour will get 410 seats, Conservatives 131, Liberal Democrats 61 and Reform UK Populists 13 seats.

Meanwhile, the Scottish nationalists of the SNP would win 10 seats, the Welsh nationalists of Plaid Cymru would win 4 and the Greens would win 2 seats.

The exit poll is based on voter data from around 130 polling stations across England, Scotland and Wales.

Despite Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s efforts so far, the Conservatives have been unable to meet the results projected in polls published in recent weeks.

Instead, BBC projections confirm that Reform UK, the populist right-wing party led by Nigel Farage, will have 13 seats in the British parliament.

Farage, the promoter of the Brexit referendum in the United Kingdom, made his political career by campaigning for the country’s exit from the European Union.

for months Polls on voting intentions had already predicted a large victory for the Labour Party.

Labor has focused its campaign on the word “Change”, At a time when the country is facing significant economic and social problems.

Voters in the four countries that make up the United Kingdom – England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland – went to the polls with a general sense of economic stability in the country, exacerbated by the strong inflation of recent years.

In addition, the difficulties faced by the British public health system, the NHS, and the record numbers of immigrants who have come to the country in recent years may have encouraged voters to bet on change.

The last British general election was held in December 2019 and the next one was due to be held in January 2025. However, Rishi Sunak announced in May that the election would be brought forward.

The Prime Minister accepted it The country was facing “precarious” circumstances Due to events such as the war in Ukraine and inflation which affects the pockets of the British.

As BBC News political editor Chris Mason reported in May, the pressure Sunak received from those around him accelerated his decision to bring the appointment forward to the election.

In the United Kingdom, the leader of the party with the most representatives becomes prime minister after being officially invited by the monarch to form a government.

The leader of the party with the second largest number of MLAs is called the Leader of the Opposition.

If the incumbent prime minister is defeated, the change occurs more quickly than in many other countries.

With these results, Rishi Sunak will likely leave 10 Downing Street – the residence of the British Prime Minister – within a day, and Starmer will move into the official residence shortly after.
