The Labour party has won over 400 seats (out of 650) in the 2024 UK General Elections, and Keir Starmer is expected to replace Rishi Sunak as Prime Minister. The Conservatives, in power for the last fourteen years, have suffered a rout, losing over two-thirds of their seats. The SNP has collapsed in Scotland, mostly to Labour, and the Liberal Democrats have gained over sixty seats.

    just because numbers didn’t change much doesn’t mean voters didn’t

    i think a lot of labour voters in struggling communities went to reform which means labour got voters from elsewhere to keep up their percentage.

    who know what the reform voters will do when they realise their vote was wasted in 5 years. also a lot of tactical voting will unwind.
