• The United Kingdom is facing elections to end 14 years of conservative governments.
• The British economy suffers from severe imbalances such as inequality, lack of public and private investment, low and stagnant wages, lower competitiveness and a declining health and education system.
• Social, political and territorial division is evident, mainly following the Scottish independence referendum and Brexit.
• The successive prime ministers have been criticized for the way they handled Brexit.
• Keir Starmer, the Labour Party leader, has a chance to take over the country if the polls are accurate.

Conclusion: The United Kingdom potentially needs a massive economic, political, and social reform to overcome the challenges that have characterized the years of conservative governments.
