650 members of the House of Commons: 1st election in 5 years

July 4, 2024

People throughout the United Kingdom will vote Thursday 

to elect 650 members of the House of Commons , one for

each local constituency.  No primaries or run-offs: the major 

parties are Tory (Conservative) and Labour (Liberal) but

also putting forward candidates are a "New Reform" Party

(Nigel Farage, anti-E.U.) and the Green Party.  After results

are known as far as the winning Party, then the leader of

that party is named "Prime Minister" who must form a

government and seek King Charles' consent.

Labour Party is slated to win 410 seats which will be a supermajority --
a more than 170 vote cushion over its opposition (Tory or Conservative)
