The Scottish National Party (SNP) has suffered a devastating defeat in the UK general elections, losing a significant number of seats and potentially jeopardizing its control of the Scottish government. The results are a blow to the independence movement and could lead to a shift in power to the Labour Party in the region.
UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has announced snap general elections to be held on July 4. This move comes as his Conservative party faces electoral challenges, with the Labour Party leading in opinion polls. Sunak’s decision is based on the belief that economic conditions may improve by July, potentially boosting the Conservatives’ chances of staying in power.
