Prime Minister Sunak's ruling Conservative Party is facing another blow ahead of the UK general election on July 4th. Opinion polls show that support among centre-right voters is flowing to the right-wing populist party Reform UK, and there are renewed views that the centre-left opposition Labor Party, led by Keir Starmer, will move closer to returning to power for the first time in 14 years. It's a confirmed form.
The background to this situation is that Nigel Farage became the leader of the Reform UK party and unexpectedly announced his candidacy on June 3.
Mr Farage is a politician who has called on successive governments to take a tough stance on EU policy and immigration issues. Although he has run for office seven times in the past and lost all of them, he still has a huge influence on British politics.
According to a poll released by research firm YouGov on June 5th, Reform UK has a support rating of 17%. This was just two points behind the Conservative Party's 19%. Support for Reform UK is evenly spread across the country, in contrast to the uneven distribution of support for the Conservative Party. Labor Party approval rating is 40%, supporting party.

Starmer criticized the ruling party, saying, ``People are being forced to pay the highest tax burden in 70 years,'' and stressed that Labor would achieve economic growth without increasing income tax or taxes.
On the other hand, although Mr. Sunak has touted his achievements in combating inflation and other measures, he was once again asked by voters about his decision to leave the Normandy Landings Ceremony.
"I am very sad that I have hurt and upset people. I hope the public can forgive me."
In the first televised debate last week, Mr Sunak had a slight lead in polls assessing each debate, but this time Mr Sunak lost in a landslide to Mr Starmer by 30 points.

On the 13th, Britain's largest opposition party, the Labor Party, announced its manifesto for the general election. Regarding Palestine, which continues to be attacked by Israel, the text included the following: ``We pledge to recognize Palestine as a state in order to contribute to new peace negotiations.''
The Labor Party has a lead of around 20 points over the ruling Conservative Party in opinion polls, and it is currently likely that it will take over the government after the July 4th general election. The pledge does not mention the timing of recognition, but states that recognition of Palestine as a state is "an inalienable right of the Palestinian people. It cannot be given to them by a neighboring country and is essential to Israel's long-term security." It was said that
As Israel continues its attacks on the Palestinian autonomous region of Gaza, there is growing dissatisfaction in the UK with the response of the pro-Israel administration and ruling party. The Labor Party has not strongly condemned this stance, and there is widespread disappointment in some quarters. In the local elections held in May, the party lost support in areas with a large Muslim population.
