The 4th July 2024 general election in Britain is historic. The polls delivered a historic victory for Keir Starmer's Labor and a historic rout for Rishi Sunak's Tories. At the same time, they gave - after 7 failed attempts - the ticket for Parliament to the leader of the far-right party UK Reform and one of the pioneers of Brexit, Nigel Farage. And they were marked by historic participation.
