Two Important Points Everyone Should Take From the UK General Election 2024
1). Labour Party Has a Track Record in Record-Breaking Victory
Keir Starmer has won the election against the Conservative Sunak with a majority of 412 seats on the House of Commons. It was a major victory after a long time for the Labour Party after Tony Blair’s victory in 1997.
2). The Citizen is Determined to Outcast the Rishi Sunak in This Election
Labour party swept the majority of the seats while the conservative is left with only 120 seats. Rishi Sunak saw the catastrophe defeat, the worst in Britain’s three-century history. The party lost all of the seats in Wales.
Labour’s share of the votes is 36.3% which is lower than the 1997 victory of Tony Blair’s
The most notable name of the Conservative party has lost their votes.

How Britain’s New Prime Minister Keith Starmer’s Diplomatic Approach Affects India
As we have seen so far the Labour Party’s stand against India is always harsh in the matters of Kashmir issues. In 2019 when Indian govt. Scrap the 370 section against the Jammu and Kashmir special status in August 2019 said there was a humanitarian crisis in the region.
However, the new Prime Minister wanted to build a new partnership strategy with India. David Lammy the foreign secretary addressed the Indian Global Forum in London last month and described India as a Technological power, he said “ India contributes so much to British prosperity already. Last year, India was our second-largest foreign direct investment contributor. Over 950 Indian companies are employing over 100,000 people in the UK. But it could be so, so much more as India is only our 12th largest trade partner.”
