Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced on Wednesday night that a general election will be held in Britain on July 4. After this announcement, there has been a huge uproar in British politics. However, Rishi Sunak described this election as challenging. He said that Britain should choose its own future. Rishi Sunak will go in front of the voters for the first time as Prime Minister.
General elections were likely to be held in January 2025
Let us tell you that the ruling Conservative Party had not announced the name of PM before the 2022 elections. After the election, the party's parliamentary wing elected Sunak as its leader. A general election was expected to be held in January 2025, but Sunak announced it 7 months in advance. This time the path to victory seems difficult for Rishi Sunak. Know what will be the effect of which words.
Party MPs will have to face
PM Rishi Sunak may be counting his good works in front of the people, but he is facing opposition from the leaders of his own party, which can cause a lot of loss in this election. According to the information, some MPs of the party are demanding a no-confidence motion against Rishi Sunak. An MP has described the current atmosphere of the party as nervous.
Know who will be the PM's race?
The main contest in this election is between the Conservative Party and the Labour Party. PM Rishi Sunak may be the PM face from the Conservative Party, but he will face competition from Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer, who is a very strong candidate. Starmer is the former director of public affairs in England and the leader of the Labour Party since April 2020. In many opinion polls, the Labour Party is far ahead of Sunak's Conservative Party. Apart from this, Britain's three largest parties, the Scottish National Party, the Liberal Democrats and the Democratic Unionist Party are also in the fray. All these things may make it difficult for the PM to win the general election.
The situation is very bad in the opinion poll
A poll conducted in March gave Sunak a rating of 38, his worst ever. In April the Conservative Party was projected to win just 155 seats in the next election, but in 2019, under the leadership of former PM Boris Johnson, the party won 365 seats. This time the opposition Labor Party is claiming to get 403 seats.
Conservative Party has lost 10 by-elections
After then Prime Minister Boris Johnson gave the party a majority in the 2019 general election, the party lost more than 10 by-elections in the same term. Conservative MPs are worried about the defeat in Britain's two seats, Wellingburgh and Kingswood, about 3 months ago. The election was held in Wellingburg following the expulsion of Conservative MP Peter Bone. Here Labor MP Jane Kitchen got 45.8% votes, which is more than 28.5% last time. This seat was held by the Conservative Party since 2005. In Kingswood also the Labor Party got 44.9% of the votes, which is 16.4% more than last time. Since 2010, this seat was held by the Conservative Party.
may have to face defeat
PM Rishi Sunak's party may face a big defeat in the elections. Such a claim has been made in a survey. This survey is based on 18 thousand people. The survey also predicts the defeat of the Conservative Party led by Sunak. Also, the opposition Labour Party is estimated to win 403 seats. The majority figure in the British Parliament is 326.
