British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has set July 4 as the date for a national election that will determine who governs the United Kingdom, choosing a day of good economic news to urge voters to give his governing Conservatives another chance. “Now is the moment for Britain to choose its future,” Sunak said. Sunak’s centre-right party has seen its support dwindle steadily after 14 years in power.
Labour leader Keir Starmer, a former chief prosecutor for England and Wales, is the current favourite. The party’s momentum has built since it dealt the Conservatives heavy losses in local elections earlier this month. The Conservatives have also lost a series of special elections for seats in Parliament this year, and two of its lawmakers recently defected to Labour.
