Starmer on course to oust Sunak as UK’s Labour scores landslide election win: Exit polls
Exit polls have tapped the UK’s Labour Party for a “landslide” victory in the country’s parliamentary elections, a triumph that would end the Conservatives 14-year stay in power.
The poll results were out on Thursday, giving the Labour 410 seats in the 650-seat House of Commons, with the right-wing Tories managing only 131 -- a record low.
The triumph is expected to place Labour leader Keir Starmer in Number 10 in place of Rishi Sunak.
Former Conservative leader William Hague told Times Radio that the projected results would be "a catastrophic result in historic terms" for the Tories.
The polls also gave the smaller opposition Liberal Democrats 61 seats, thus poised to oust the Scottish National Party, which the survey has credited with winning 10 seats.
The hard-right anti-immigration Reform UK party, led by Nigel Farage, could secure 13 seats, Welsh nationalists Plaid Cymru four, and the Greens two.
The notable shift in the country’s political constellation, however, is not expected to amount to a similar modification in its political attitude.
This includes Number 10’s historically unwavering political and military support for the Israeli regime, despite the latter’s October-present war on the Gaza Strip.
This was shown by both Starmer and Sunak’s sharing the same podium for their unreserved support for the occupying regime during their respective election campaigns.
This is while surveys have shown that more than 70 percent of British citizens support implementation of an immediate ceasefire deal in Gaza, where the Israeli war has so far claimed the lives of more than 38,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children.
