Boris Johnson’s Conservative party triumphed with a landslide majority in the 2019 general election but it’s fair to say that the Tories are unlikely to be in celebratory mood in a little over four weeks’ time when the country returns its verdict at the polling booths. Parliament has now been dissolved and all of the main parties are gearing themselves up for the big event on July 4th, while Nigel Farage has announced that he will enter the fray after all, the Reform UK leader aiming to become an MP for the eighth attempt.
Labour are massive favourites to win most seats at the 2024 general election at a best price of 1/20 (lowest odds 1/100), while the Tories are next at a best price of 28/1 (lowest odds 9/1), however it’s interesting to note that some bookies believe that Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party has a better chance than the Conservatives of winning most seats at lowest odds of 27/1 (best price 100/1). Some bookies go a best price of 14/1 that no one party will come out of the general election with an overall majority in a hung parliament while an overall Labour majority is priced at 1/12.
How is the 2024 General Election decided?
There are a total of 650 constituencies across the UK and each voter has a single vote in their own constituency. Each voter casts his vote for a local candidate as opposed to the leader of his preferred political party and the candidate with the most votes in each constituency becomes a member of parliament. If a political party wins 326 seats or more (that is over half of the number of UK constituencies), then the reigning monarch (King Charles III) asks the party to become the government of the UK. The second largest party becomes the official opposition and should no party have an overall majority (326 seats or more), then there is a hung parliament and it is up to the largest party to negotiate a coalition.
How long have the Conservatives been in power?
The Conservative party has been in power for 14 years (since 2010), however they formed coalitions for the first nine years and gained an overall majority in 2019.
When were Labour last in power?
The Labour party were last in power in 2010.
