2025 Will Be a Challenging Year in UK Politics

Last year’s U.K. election saw a new period in British politics. The Labour Party under Keir Starmer achieved a resounding victory, securing 411 seats and a majority of 174 in the House of Commons. The triumph marked the party’s return to power after 14 years and signaled a significant shift in the nation’s political direction. Labour’s victory stands in stark contrast to other parts of Europe and the U.S., where center-right parties continue to make sizeable gains.
