Labour is likely to win the next election. Does this mean that we will have a different UK approach to the EU? The UK recently went to the polls for the first round of the General Election, a critical event featuring key political figures like Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Keir Starmer, Ed Davey, and Nicola Sturgeon. Sunak's Conservative platform faced significant challenges, while Starmer continued his push to revitalise Labour, aiming to solidify his influence. Davey, a prominent figure in the Liberal Democrats, sought to attract younger voters, and Sturgeon galvanised the Scottish National Party's base. This video will explain the details and implications of these election outcomes.

Seeing the distribution of seats at 7:30 proves to me just how silly First Past the Post electoral systems are. And how poorly they can reflect the will of the voters.
-
Better cooperation but not rejoining the EU is probably the best for now. Let’s focus on domestic problems first. Not like the EU would allow us to join at this stage anyway
-
I love how that "Damp Rishi" image is how we will always remember him 😂
-
It's a shame the Lib Dem's didn't get even more MP's. If they did, not only would they of been the main opposition in the house of commons. But they are also in favour of proportional representation.
-
UK system seems so dumb
-
As usual you made the concept so much easier to understand. Keep up the great work!😊
-
Strange how the will to join the EU is clearly stronger the further left you go but the EU itself is only shifting further right.
-
why no one's talking about Boris Johnson's reverse umbrella move!
-
Labour + Liberals = 46% Add in Greens + SNP = 60% left wing majority Conservatives + Reform = 38% Very low indeed.

It takes 23 Thousand votes to elect a Labour MP but it takes 850,000 Thousand votes to elect a Reform MP -- There is no Democracy in the UK only a 2 party LABOUR/CONSERVATIVE Dictatorship -- This is why when the UK public get a chance at flipping the middle finger to the system we do it in style
-
Answer to your question...... NOTHING whatsoever!
-
UK is not in the EU so I have no idea what’s gonna happen
-
Scottish here, only way i see us rejoining the EU is if we were independent. Which... I dont see happening in the next decade.
-
Damn, and people complain about the american electoral system. at least that one makes some sense for the context it was designed for. This? This is one of the most shitty systems I ever saw.
-
in one vote we turned down PR
-
Labour got less than 10 million votes, and nigel farages reform got 4.1 million. How does that work?
-
its genuinely just the fault of our governmental system giving a party with only 33.8% of the votes over 65% of the seats. We've been living in a "democracy" when its just basically a 2 party system that once actual opposition comes in from smaller parties it all falls apart and one of the 2 larger parties gets the majority of the seats still.
-
Not much, of more importance are the election results in France or one of the other EU memberstates.
-
Imagine blowing a 14 year lead
