description Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s announcement of the General Election on 28 May marked the start of an intense six-week campaign. Setting it for 4 July was expected to increase the ruling party’s chances of reversing the downward trend in the polls. However, despite a favourable change in the economic trend in recent weeks, the Conservatives have continued to lose support, ranking at least 20 percentage points below Labour in the polls. As a result, a new Labour government led by Sir Keir Starmer is likely to get an unprecedented representation in the House of Commons of 450 MPs out of 650.
