UK elections 2024
Voting will be held on Thursday for the general election in Britain. This election is an ordeal for the Conservative Party and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who have been in power for 14 years in Britain. Because most of the surveys have expressed the fear of crushing defeat of the party. On the other hand, the opposition Labor Party is likely to return to power after 2010.
After the Labor Party took power in 2019, Starmer promised not to raise taxes on working families and to secure the border instead of deporting migrants. Anti-Semitism was removed from the Labor Party. Starmer grew up in a left-wing working-class family in Surrey, outside London. His father was a toolmaker. He studied law at Leeds and Oxford. As a young lawyer, Starmer represented protesters accused of defamation by McDonald's.
