UK General Election 2024 – Today morning poll started at 6:00 AM will over at night 10 PM.
In the UK, there are 650 constituencies, and each has a Member of Parliament (MP). To form the government, a party needs at least 326 MPs. Usually, the leader of the party with the most MPs becomes the Prime Minister. (UK General Election 2024)
If no party gets 326 MPs, the current Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak from the Conservative Party, might try to form a government with other parties. They would need to negotiate to get enough MPs to work together effectively.
Right now, the Conservative Party, led by Rishi Sunak, is in charge. Other important parties include the Labour Party led by Keir Starmer, the Liberal Democrats led by Ed Davey, Reform UK led by Nigel Farage, the Scottish National Party (SNP) led by John Swinney, and the Green Party co-led by Carla Denyer and Adrian Ramsay.
This system shows how important it is for parties to work together to make a stable government in the UK.
Recently, a study looked at how people in the UK are doing financially after 14 years of Conservative Party rule. It found that people on average had £10,200 ($12,950) less to spend or save from 2010 to 2022 compared to what they might have had if the economy had grown like it did from 1998 to 2010.
This study shows a real impact on people’s money across the country, which raises concerns about living standards and economic progress during the long time the Conservative Party has been in power.
