Labor Party leader Keir Starmer has given the slogan of ‘change’. Starmer said, ‘On July 4, we have a chance to stop this chaos. ‘We can turn the page and make a fresh start, rebuild Britain and transform this country.’ Elections were to be held in Britain in January next year and it was expected that Sunak would not announce the election date before October, but on Wednesday Sunak surprised everyone by announcing the date of the general elections.
In all pre-election surveys, the opposition Labor Party is in a strong position and the Labor Party has a significant lead over the Conservative Party. In such a situation, it was believed that even if Sunak had postponed the announcement of general elections till October, he would not have got much benefit.
At present, inflation in Britain is under control and is at the lowest level in the last three years at 2.3 percent. In such a situation, Sunak capitalized on this opportunity and announced the date of general elections. Sunak’s campaign will also focus on the economy front, Whereas the opposition party does not have any specific plan in this matter.
