As the Labour Party is predicted to win with an easy majority, securing almost 400 of the 650 seats in UK Parliament, British journalist Andrew White analyses what he calls a 'colossal' majority. He adds such a number can occur but once in a lifetime and the number seems unfathomable, going past former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair's massive win in 1997.
The United Kingdom is on the brink of a significant political shift as the country voted in a parliamentary election on July 4 that is expected to bring Keir Starmer's Labour Party to power. As per predictions, Starmer is heavily favoured to win a historic mandate and the Conservatives, led by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, are going to face their worst defeat in 14 years.
