British Prime Minister Sounak (data picture)

British Prime Minister Sunak announced on the 22nd that Britain will hold a general election on July 4.

Sunak made a speech in front of the Prime Minister's office at No. 10 Downing Street in London that day, saying that he had talked with King Charles III of England earlier that day and asked for the dissolution of Parliament. The king has granted the request.

Sunak was "proud" of his achievements in economy, immigration, education and other fields since he took office, and said that the ruling Conservative Party had a clear plan for the future.

Since Cameron, the then leader of the Conservative Party, led the party to win the general election in 2010, the Conservative Party has been the ruling party in Britain. Public opinion surveys show that since Sunak came to power in October 2022, the opposition Labor Party has maintained a double-digit leading edge over the Conservative Party. According to the latest poll results of the British public opinion survey company, as of 16 this month, the support rate of the Conservative Party was only 20%, while the support rate of the Labour Party was 47%. The Labor Party and other parties kept putting pressure on Sunak to hold an election as soon as possible.
