Turning our attention to the UK.
Voters there are heading to polling stations on Thursday to cast their ballots in a general election that many pundits believe is a referendum on 14 years of the Conservative Party’s governance.
Choi Soo-hyung reports.
The United Kingdom is preparing for Thursday’s general election.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak of the Conservative Party and opposition Labour Party leader Keir Starmer are making their final push for votes.
“I understand people’s frustrations with me, with our party. But I say this It’s a choice about the future of our country, a choice that is going to have severe consequences for each and every family if we get that choice wrong. Just think what a Labour government with a super majority would do.”
“We’ve now had 14 years of chaos, of division and failure, and the choice tomorrow is to bring that to an end, to turn the page and start to rebuild with Labour.”
The upcoming general election will determine the composition of the House of Commons, and ultimately the next Prime Minister.
The Labour Party is forecast to win by a landslide, ending the Conservative Party’s 14-year rule.
Recent polls show that Labour have about 40 percent support and the Conservatives have 20 percent.
On Wednesday evening, YouGov a public opinion and data company based in London forecast that Labour could win 431 out of 650 seats in the House of Commons.
If this happens, it will be the largest number of seats won by a single party since the first UK general election in 1832.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has appealed to his supporters with strong controls on refugees such as sending asylum seekers to Rwanda and an increase in defense spending.
Labour leader Keir Starmer has focused on a centrist strategy, promising stable economic growth, wealth creation, and unwavering national security.
Many voters blame the 14 years of the Conservative-led governments for the cost-of-living crisis, issues in the health care system and the chaos due to Brexit.
