Politics in the UK

In the UK in 2025, the party in power is Labour, headed by Sir Keir Starmer.

Historically, the UK has always been an almost two-party system, with power in the Houses of Parliament swinging between Labour and the Conservatives every election. At the time of writing, another party is getting onto the political map and is causing a stir thanks to their very vocal leader, Reform UK. According to their official page, this party seeks to ‘offer common-sense policies on immigration, cost of living, energy and national sovereignty.’

Which Political Party is Likely To Win?

Website Election Polling displays the averages based on General Election polls and approval ratings.

At the time of writing, Labour has dropped 9.37% in approval, and the Conservatives (the Tories) have fallen 1.69%. However, there has been an upward swing for one party, Reform UK, which is currently led by Nigel Farage. This party’s popularity has gone up 9.70%.

According to the Mail Online, the Labour Party is aiming to block Reform UK from getting funding from Tesla billionaire and creator of SpaceX, Elon Musk. However, this could boost the party’s popularity if they are successful, as the popularity of Labour and Starmer are in an increasingly precarious position.

How To Keep Up To Date With the Politics

The UK General Election 2029 is due to take place no later than August 15, 2029.

That is a long way off in the political world, but as current leaders of the country Labour have been in power for less than a year at the time of writing, there has already been one call from the UK public for an early General Election. So, it is entirely possible that between now and 2029, there could be one or even a couple of General Elections in the UK.  This means that there could be a new Prime Minister in power before 2029.

To keep up to date with politics in the UK, it is best to follow online newspapers like The Independent and The Guardian.
