The Labour Party led by Keir Starmer won a landslide victory in the U.K.'s July 4 general election, capturing over 400 seats in the 650-seat House of Commons. Labour is now in control of the government for the first time in 14 years, an outcome that reflects the dissatisfaction and anxiety among the public about high prices and increasing immigration.
Voters shifted to the center-left Labour Party in part because they lost confidence in the Conservative Party, which had been hit by scandals, including lockdown-breaking parties held at the residence of then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson during the COVID-19 pandemic.
