Rishi Sunak swept from power in a political tidal wave in the UK

Rarely in a democracy is there such a dramatic political turn-around as Britain is now witnessing. The Labour Party, after fourteen years in opposition, has achieved a landslide election win. Labour is set roughly to double the number of its Members of Parliament to 400 or more. And Rishi Sunak’s Conservatives are on course to lose almost two-thirds of their seats in Parliament when the counting is complete. That would be the party’s worst-ever result.
