Britain’s Labour Party was projected on Thursday evening to win a landslide election victory, sweeping the Conservative Party out of power after 14 years, in a thundering anti-incumbent revolt that heralded a new era in British politics.
A nationwide exit poll conducted for the BBC and two other broadcasters indicated that Labour was on course to win around 410 of the 650 seats in the British House of Commons, versus 131 for the Conservatives.

The EU will have its cash cow back in the barn...
False equivalency. There are no conservatives in UK. Just insane leftists and even more insane leftists. And the Silly Party.
It’s a stupid system isn’t it....
The pendulum swinging as it does and the Executive part of the parliament (Congress)
The founders had the right idea to split it all up!
Britain and Canada need to change to a system where executive is separate.
There is also NOTHING written down or enshrined like the Constitution in the U.S.so rights can be taken away through legislation.
Something to reflect on today of all days.
And Sharia.
That’s what happens when you prefer to have the government take care of you.
On July 4, England decides to destroy itself.
It’s what happens when you have Subjects, and not Citizens.
Yep.
Even Putin does not want to rule over this basket case of a country.
You’re right about that. How can there be any change if every political party is a different flavor of socialism? The so call “conservative party” is actually stakeholder capitalism with is camouflaged word for communism.
The Tories, who are said to be having one of their worst losses in history, are like the RINOs here.
The MAGA equivalent in the UK have their own party — Nigel Farrage’s Reform UK Party.
There’s a lesson to be learned here.
The Torys botched the Covid response and didn’t sink the boats. They did this to themselves and they DESERVE to be wiped out entirely.
Pros and cons.
If we had the Westminster system the Vietnam war would have ended in 1968.
There's a lesson here we don't want to learn, but have to. We constantly complain about the RINOs here, and for good reason, but we were to be a three-party state like Britain, with the Democrats, the GOPe, and the MAGA party, the Dems would win perpetually, which is what is going to be the future of Britain.
The irony, of course, is that the rest of Europe is step by step returning to conservatism, from Hungary to Italy and soon in Germany, France, and the low countries, and the same is happening here, but Britain is going to dash like a cheetah in the far-left direction.
Anyone know what they think labor is going to do for them?
Exactly as planned. Import the third world, get third world results.
Reform win a seat
Showing my ignorance, are Tories conservative or libs?
