"Conservatives Face 1997-Style Election Disaster, Mega-Poll Predicts"

A YouGov poll predicts that British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Conservative Party is headed for a significant electoral defeat, with Labour projected to win 385 seats in parliament compared to the Conservatives' 169, representing an 11.5% swing. This potential outcome would mirror the heavy loss suffered by the Conservatives to the Labour Party in 1997. Despite trailing in recent polls, Sunak emphasized that the only poll that matters is the national election, while Labour leader Keir Starmer stressed the need to earn and respect every vote in the run-up to the election.
