  • UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, has called for general elections on July 4th.
  • Polls predict a major Labor victory, with up to a 20-point lead over the Conservatives.
  • Sunak is using economic recovery and declining inflation as his campaign’s main arguments.
  • Key issues revolve around the government's handling of the economy, public healthcare, Brexit, and immigration.
  • The record of conservative governments and Sunak's unpopularity tilt the balance towards a probable Labor victory.

Conclusion: Despite Sunak's efforts to portray himself as a safe and stable option, dissatisfaction with his management, the poor image of the Conservatives, and support for Labor, foresee a power shift in the UK.
