United Kingdom General Election: July 4, 2024

Sunak being soaked in the rain really sets the mood. What a classic moment.

Tbh, if he'd announce it on another day or moment, he still would be soaked in the rain since that's basically the weather for you in this area summed up for all of 2024

Does he have a shot of winning here?

Does he have a shot of winning here?

Definitely. It still sounds like he has a lot of popularity in his electorate and he'll no doubt be able to get lots of volunteers. The big question is who Labour pick as the replacement and whether the transient nature of the seat works against him.

If I had to call I think he'd probably be the favourite but I could easily see him winning in a blowout or losing quite comfortably.

Thanks for the explanation.

How is the district demographically. Does it have many voters of Arab descent since I think that would probably favour his chances quite a bit?

Some journalists here started talking about Canada 1993. And how Nigel Farages goal is basically to make the Tories lose so that they have to merge with Reform and make the Conservative Party more right wing / conservative and have people like Farage have more influence.
