WINDS OF POLITICAL CHANGE IN THE UK

The United Kingdom is inching towards the July 4th General Elections which will decide who assumes the reins of the next British Government. The ruling Conservative party currently led by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is gearing up for a drubbing which is now certain and inevitable. Only to be seen is the extent of the political Tsunami that will unseat Rishi Sunak who by all standards has made a string of political goof ups, some even during this high pitch election campaign.

The people at large who are reeling under political fatigue and economic challenges after the 14-year-old Conservative rule, seem to be leaning to the Labour Party which is all set to assume power.

Elections are overseen by an independent body. The Electoral Commission also regulates political finance to ensure the integrity of the democratic process in a very transparent manner with no room for any manipulation whatsoever. The entire bureaucracy is free from political interference. And with voting using the age-old ballot papers, with counting taking place almost immediately after the poll closes and results declared within a matter of hours, there is no room for controversy about those EVMs and their genuineness.

The people have high expectations that the new government will take steps to rescue the United Kingdom from the current economic crisis with a stable pragmatic leadership intent on helping the many, not just the few. Only time will tell.
