UK election: Big win expected for Labor  - 1

The Labor Party in Great Britain will win 425 parliamentary mandates, and the Conservative Party will shrink to 108 from the current 365, according to a recent sociological survey by the Institute "YuGov" (YouGov), quoted by Reuters and BTA.

According to the poll, Labor leader Keir Starmer will take office as the Prime Minister of “Downing Street” 10 with a majority of 200 MPs after the July 4 elections.

„There is no magic wand that we can wave the day after the elections and solve all the country's problems. And no one will believe us if we say there is," he said on ITV.

According to a sociological survey of "Savanta" for the British in. “Telegraph“ Labor would get 516 seats and the Conservatives just 53, which would mean that Sunak would become the first British Prime Minister in history to lose his own seat in a general election.

Many voters told pollsters that their main motivation was to get rid of the Conservatives, who have been in power for 14 years during a period of political and economic turmoil.

Conservative Party politician Michael Gove has said that the important election will be held on July 4.

„I'm a Scotland fan so I'm used to adverse circumstances and bleak forecasts, but I also believe that you wait until the last minute until the final whistle and you fight until that moment,'' he said he in front of “Sky News”.

„You can look at the polls... but this election is not an election between "Savanta" and "SouthGov", and between Keir Starmer and Rishi Sunak, and therefore there is a choice of policies,”, he added.

Later today, Sunak, Starmer and other leaders will face questions from an audience of voters on the BBC.
