London: Keir Starmer\u2019s Labour Party scored a landslide victory in the UK general elections, a result that reflects a seismic realignment in British politics as Rishi Sunak\u2019s Conservative Party imploded.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak\u2019s last-minute attempt to sway voters fell short as his Conservative Party lost the UK general elections. Ahead of voting, the Conservatives warned voters that opting for Labour would lead to higher taxes.<\/p>\n
Conceding defeat, Rishi Sunak said, \u201cToday, power will change hands in a peaceful and orderly manner, with goodwill on all sides. That is something that should give us all confidence in our country\u2019s stability and future,\u201d Rishi Sunak said while addressing his supporters in Richmond and Northern Allerton. \u201cI am sorry. I take responsibility for the loss,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Keir Starmer will be appointed the Prime Minister later today. \u201cTonight people here and around the country have spoken, and they\u2019re ready for change,\u201d he said. \u201cThe change begins right here.\u201d<\/p>\n
The official election exit poll had predicted Labour will win 410 seats, the most since Tony Blair\u2019s 1997 landslide victory, with a projected majority of 170. In the last six UK elections, only one exit poll has got the outcome wrong.<\/p>\n
In May, Rishi Sunak stunned many in his own party by calling the election earlier than he needed to with the Conservatives trailing Labour by some 20 points in opinion polls.<\/p>\n
Keir Starmer, the son of a toolmaker and a nurse, has promised \u201ca decade of national renewal\u201d after post-financial crash austerity measures, Brexit upheaval and a cost-of-living crisis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
