  • Rishi Sunak has called early elections for July 4 in the UK, surprising both allies and rivals.
  • Polls show a gap of more than 20 points between the Conservative Party and the Labour opposition.
  • Sunak has managed to balance the books and reduce inflation to a level similar to that of the European Union.
  • The prime minister has adopted a policy of deporting immigrants to Rwanda which has drawn criticism from leading humanitarian organizations.
  • These elections are not so much about Sunak, but about the citizens' judgment on more than a decade of conservatism in the UK.
  • Polls point to Keir Starmer, leader of the Labour Party, as the next prime minister.

Conclusion: These elections represent a judgment by the citizens on more than a decade of conservative policies, with Starmer positioned as a more centered figure capable of addressing the current challenges facing the UK.
