What is known about the election results in Great Britain?
On July 4, early elections to the lower house of parliament were held in Great Britain.
The opposition Labor Party led by Keir Starmer won the majority of votes.
According to the latest figures, Labor will get 410 seats in parliament, and this is subject to the requirement that at least 326 are needed to form a government without problems.
That is why Sir Keir Starmer can become the country's new prime minister.
In addition, the Conservative Party, which is currently in power, will receive 131 seats in the parliament.
It is important to understand that this figure is the lowest in the post-war history of Britain.
