Keir Starmer led the Laboour Party to victory in the 2024 United Kingdom general election on 4 July that year, with his party winning 412 seats, the most by any party since [[Tony Blair]] led Labour to its historic 1997 election victory. The result marked the conclusion of 14 years of the Tories (or "Conservatives") in government, and 9 of them as the sole governing party. Despite the result being hailed as a "landslide", Labour actually won the election with one of the lowest shares of the popular vote on record, with around 34% of the vote, comparable to the 2005 performance of Tony Blair's New Labour. In this election, [[Nigel Farage]]'s [[Reform UK]] came third overall with 14.3% of the total vote, with the party returning 4 Members of Parliament overall coming second to Labour in many key constituencies. The result is generally agreed to have been a rejection of the inept Tory Party as opposed to a victory for Labour.
