As the voting for snap general elections began on Thursday, the Indian community in the United Kingdom expressed confidence that the Labour Party would end the nearly 15-year stint of the Conservatives.
“I think if the current political trends are anything to go about and if they continue till the end of the polling day, I think Labour should come back with a resounding victory,” a UK resident said.
“What is going to happen is that they (Conservatives) are going to lose. There are some reasons for that as well. There has been a mess…they have changed so many prime ministers and the services are in a mess. The National Health Service (NHS) is in a mess and other things are in a mess. So I personally believe that Labour should come back with a victory,” he added.
Expressing support for the incumbent Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, the UK resident said that he is a good PM. He said that the Conservative Party will lose due to problems created by previous leaders, not because of the current Prime Minister’s performance.
“He (Rishi Sunak) is a good prime minister. Unfortunately, if the Conservatives lose, which sounds sure, it’s not because of him. It’s because of the mess that the others made. Because he is a very good Prime Minister, he didn’t have enough time as well, because when he came as Prime Minister, there was only a year or something left for the next elections as well. So I would personally love to see him as the Prime Minister,” he told ANI.
