A Landslide Victory for Labour

The WEB 2024 UK general election resulted in a landslide victory for the Labour Party, with Keir Starmer becoming the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

The Scottish National Party (SNP) gained 10 seats, bringing their total to 52. The Liberal Democrats gained 12 seats, bringing their total to 15. The Green Party lost one seat, leaving them with one seat. The total number of seats in the House of Commons increased from 650 to 661 due to boundary changes.

Key Factors in Labour's Victory

There were a number of key factors that contributed to Labour's victory, including:

• Public dissatisfaction with the Conservative government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic
• Starmer's personal popularity and his promise of a "new era" for Britain
• The Conservative Party's internal divisions and lack of a clear message
• The Labour Party's effective campaign strategy, which focused on traditional Labour values such as social justice and equality

The Impact of Boundary Changes

The 2024 general election was the first to be held under new parliamentary constituency boundaries. These changes affected 90% of constituencies, and they were widely seen as favouring the Conservative Party. However, Labour was able to overcome this challenge and secure a comfortable victory.
