UK Elections: Rishi Sunak's Tory Set To Face Historic Defeat, New Survey Reveals| Oneindia

Recent Survey predicts a grim outcome for the Conservative Party under Rishi Sunak, with Labour projected to secure 403 seats. This contrasts starkly with the Tories' anticipated decline to just 155 seats. The analysis suggests Keir Starmer's Labour could replicate Tony Blair's 1997 success, while Sunak faces a bleaker fate than John Major in 1997. #RishiSunak #ConservativeParty #LabourParty #KeirStarmer #JohnMajor #UKElections2024 #BorisJohnson #Johnson #NATO #LaborParty #WorldNews #Oneindia #Oneindianews ~PR.152~ED.103~GR.122~HT.96~
