In May, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, surprised most MPs and the country when he called an election for Thursday 4 July. Tory MPs were once again divided in their opinions as to whether it is a good idea to hold the election so soon, but the announcement of the fall of inflation, coupled with murmurings of economic challenges in the autumn, seemingly forced the Prime Minister’s hand.
What followed was one of the United Kingdom’s most consequential election seasons in recent history. The political landscape was abuzz with anticipation, speculation, and a palpable sense of urgency. The 2024 elections were set against a backdrop of significant socio-economic challenges, evolving party dynamics, and a citizenry more engaged than ever in the future of their nation.
