Britain's recent election saw a decisive win for Labour, ending 19 years of opposition. Smaller parties like the Greens and Liberal Democrats also gained seats. Despite Labour's success, Reform UK secured its first parliamentary seats. Incoming PM Keir Starmer pledged NHS recovery, border security, and cheaper electricity. Conservatives suffered their worst defeat in nearly 200 years, with major figures losing seats due to voter frustrations over Brexit and governance issues.
