Keir Starmer will be Britain’s next Prime Minister with his Labour Party set to win a massive majority in a parliamentary election<\/a>, an exit poll on Thursday (July 4) indicated, while Rishi Sunak’s Conservatives are forecast to suffer historic losses.<\/p>\n

The poll showed Labour would win 410 seats in the 650-seat Parliament, ending 14 years of Conservative-led government.<\/p>\n

Sunak’s party were forecast to only take 131 seats, down from 346 when Parliament was dissolved, as voters punish the Conservatives for a cost-of-living crisis and years of instability and in-fighting which has seen five different Prime Ministers since 2016.<\/p>\n

The centrist Liberal Democrats were predicted to capture 61 seats while Brexit campaigner Nigel Farage’s right-wing populist Reform UK was forecast to win 13.<\/p>\n

In the last six national elections, only one exit poll has got the outcome wrong – in 2015 when the poll predicted a hung Parliament when in fact the Conservatives won a majority.<\/p>\n

Official results will follow over the next few hours.<\/p>\n
