Britain is in the midst of a parliamentary general election that could bring about significant changes in the country’s political landscape. The center-right Conservative party, in power for the past fourteen years and led by Boris Johnson, is facing a tough battle to retain seats they have held for decades. On the other hand, the center-left Labour Party, led by leader Keir Starmer, is hoping to make a comeback with promises to end tax exemptions for private schools and bring rail companies into public ownership.
However, this election is not just a two-party race, as other parties such as the Liberal Democrats, the Greens, and pro-independence parties in Scotland and Wales are also vying for seats. The hard-right Reform U.K. party and pro-Palestinian candidates further add to the mix. The New York Times is closely monitoring the election results to see if Labour’s performance matches the predictions and to look for signs of further realignment in the future.

It shows constituencies where Labour won, where other parties were victorious, and where the Conservatives emerged as the winners.
