The Labour Party won the 2024 General Election in a 'Landslide win.' 📢 Leader Sir Keir Starmer will officially become prime minister later in the day. We understand this will also come with changes to the financial industry, but we are here to answer your questions and will continue to cover these changes in the coming days. #BalanceWealthPlanning #NotttinghamFinancialPlanner #LincolnFinancialPlanner #GeneralElection

Last Thursday, the United Kingdom voted for a new government. After 14 years of Conservative Party rule, the UK has now elected the centre left, perhaps more centre than left, Labour Party as government, and Keir Starmer as the new Prime Minister. I've had a few requests for an episode explaining the results and exploring some of these themes, so here it is! I discuss... - How the Labour Party won a massive majority with only 34% of the vote - How the Conservative Party lost the election (rather than Labour winning) - How the Liberal Democrats won 72 seats with 12% of the vote... while Reform won only 5 seats with 14% of the vote - What happened in Scotland? - Smaller party successes and the pro-Gaza vote - And whether the UK needs a new electoral system (it probably does...)

#psephologicalfacts - 10 predictions Here are 10 predictions for today's election. I do not suggest many of these are particularly original - but in heavily polled elections you need to be bold/foolish to go radically against the evidence too much. Day off tomorrow but I will post on Monday to see how I did… 1). Largest swing to Labour since the current two-party system was established in 1922. 2). Labour will win a landslide victory yet with (i) a lower share of the vote; and/or (ii) fewer votes in absolute terms, than Corbyn managed in losing the 2017 election. 3). The Conservatives will have their worst result in history – polling worse than their previous lowest % of the vote (29.8% in 1832), and their lowest number of seats (157 in 1906). 4). Labour will lose Bristol Central to the Greens. 5). The LibDems will have their best “bang for buck” result since WW2 (in terms of seat % compared with vote %). 6). The Conservatives will lose Tunbridge Wells to the LibDems. 7). Rishi Sunak will hold his seat. 8). The Conservatives will lose every seat they hold in Wales, but will retain a presence in Scotland. 9). Reform will win 2 seats (probably Farage in Clacton and Anderson in Ashfield). 10). Knightsbridge and Sloane Square will be represented by Labour MPs for the first time in their history (in Cities of London & Westminster, and Chelsea & Fulham constituencies respectively).  

To achieve the below urgent aim, the Government must urgently implement the Earl of Lytton's buildingsafetyscheme.org consumer protection legislation for buildings. Widespread building defects around the country are due to pressure from developers to cut costs to maximise profit. The buildingsafetyscheme.org provides the necessary back pressure to counter this.

Labour has won the UK’s General Election, with Keir Starmer set to become the next Prime Minister to gain the keys to 10 Downing Street. While Labour’s win of over 400 seats will go down in party history, the overall political shape of the UK has shifted. And for businesses trading in the region, this will undoubtedly mean a change in priorities - and strategies.

The recent announcement by the British Prime Minister regarding the next general election set to take place in early July 2024 has inevitably stirred discussions about its potential impact on the Frome property market. Historically, general elections are periods of heightened uncertainty, often leading to speculation about their effects on house prices and transaction levels. However, examining past trends reveals a relatively stable market, with only minor fluctuations in transaction volumes. Read our article here https://loom.ly/fYlsEoc

change begins now.

Yeeehaaa! Election exit polls point to the Tories suffering a historic defeat, winning a measly 131 seats in the 650-seat parliament. This marks the end of their 14-year rule. Meanwhile, the Labour Party is set for a landslide victory, securing a whopping 410 seats. If this forecast holds true, Sir Keir Starmer will become the next Prime Minister, leading Labour to their largest majority since Tony Blair’s 1997 win. The centrist Liberal Democrats are projected to capture 61 seats, while right-wing populist Reform UK is forecast to win 13 seats. History books remind us that Labour has been spectacularly good at losing elections, but tonight they stand on the threshold of an extraordinary comeback. The Conservatives, once an election-winning machine, are now pulverized and obliterated. Boris Johnson’s hopes of serving into the 2030s have been dashed. We live in a world of unprecedented voter volatility, where minds change more often and more quickly about politics than ever before. Tomorrow, we’ll have our fourth Prime Minister in under two years, and the whirlwind of British politics continues. But let’s not forget that a new government inherits old problems: the cost of living, government finances, the tax burden, and a dangerous world. No majority, however big, can erase those colossal challenges,

In the end, the polls were broadly right: Labour has won a landslide victory, and Sir Keir Starmer will be the prime minister after 14 years of Conservative-led government. Yet dig a little deeper, and the data paints a complex picture. Labour’s national vote share is only around 2% higher than it was in 2019, despite gaining more than 200 seats. The Conservative vote has splintered in multiple directions, to both Reform and the Liberal Democrats, but there is evidence of tactical voting at play. And, as Liz Truss found out, it only took a quarter of the vote in some constituencies to win 🔗 Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/d3EbXCUR
