LONDON, July 4 — Britain ’s political leaders made a frantic push for votes late yesterday in the last hours of an election campaign expected to return a Labour government after 14 years of Conservative rule.
Starmer, 61, criss-crossed the country in a bid to shore up support and warn against over-confidence in the campaign’s remaining hours. The Tories also stepped up their warnings over the perils of Labour winning a “supermajority”, which its rival fears is intended to hit turnout. Labour has enjoyed consistent double-digit poll leads over the past two years, with many voters dissatisfied at the Conservatives’ handling of various issues including public services, immigration and the economy.
Attlee’s government created the modern welfare state, including the state-run National Health Service , Britain’s most cherished institution after the royal family. Some voters simply eye a respite from politics after a chaotic period of five prime ministers, a succession of scandals and Tory infighting between centrists and right-wingers that shows no sign of abating.
