Sir Keir Starmer’s resurgent UK Labour party has torpedoed the Conservatives 14-year tenure of government, leading the UK leftwards against the grain of mainland Europe’s surge to the far right. On the surface, that’s what Labour’s 174-seat House of Commons majority suggests. The commanding seat majority was built on a sparse 35% share of the vote, however, and behind each of the UK’s 650 constituencies, a nuanced picture emerged. Nigel Farage’s win in Clacton was one of four seats seized by his Reform Party, with another currently in recount. Though some way off the 13 seats predicted by the ...

Two European elections are threatening to greatly elevate the hardline right in two countries that have until now deprived it of a breakout moment. In France’s snap legislative elections, Marine Le Pen’s National Rally (RN) topped the polls in last weekend’s first round, giving it a strong chance of winning enough seats to force Emmanuel Macron to “cohabit” with it in government. Meanwhile, the British election this week is expected to see a surge for Nigel Farage’s Reform UK, a rebranded version of his former Brexit Party. While the UK’s electoral system means it may only win one seat, it loo...

The United Kingdom is heading to the polls on Thursday to elect 650 new members to the House of Commons, with opinion polls painting a picture of Labour dominance few would have thought possible in the previous vote in 2019. That election saw the then-prime minister Boris Johnson secure a solid Conservative majority in parliament and clinch a symbolic mandate to “get Brexit done.” He did so by winning over major Labour heartlands in the traditionally working class "red belt" of Northern England and the Midlands. The UK has since formally exited the European Union - but life after Brexit has be...

With just two weeks to go until a snap general election, Britain’s ruling Conservative Party looks set to face what could be its biggest defeat in more than a century. While the Labour Party is expected to win a landslide victory, much of the credit for the Conservatives’ downfall will be due to an insurgent party to their right. According to the polls, the anti-immigration, anti-”woke” and culturally traditionalist party Reform UK, led by leading Brexit activist and former MEP Nigel Farage, is set to take as much as 15% or more of the national vote. One poll that showed it leading the Tories ...

Populist Brexit-backer Nigel Farage was doused with what appeared to be a milkshake as he kicked off his campaign on Tuesday for the Britain’s July 4 general elections.
