LONDON (TIP): In sharp contrast to rise of the right in most European countries, UK is all set  to  have a Labour Party government. Britain’s opposition Labour Party is on track to win the largest majority of any party in modern history in Thursday’s election, according to a final YouGov projection published by the Times on Wednesday, July 3.

The multilevel regression and post-stratification (MRP) analysis predicted that Labour would win 431 seats, with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s Conservatives expected to win 102. It gave Labour a majority of 212 seats. The pollster said 89 seats were considered “tossups”, with five percentage points or fewer between first and second place. Even in a best case scenario the result for the Conservatives is significantly worse than the party’s previous worst election result in 1906, when it won 156 seats, YouGov said.
