Poll Suggests Rishi Sunak to Lose Seat in Tory Wipeout

June 19, 2024 at 12:29 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

A new Telegraph survey finds Rishi Sunak is likely to become the first sitting British prime minister ever to lose their seat.

The poll also shows his party on track to slump to 53 seats, with around three-quarters of his Cabinet also voted out.

New York Times: “Polls suggest there is a desire to eject the governing Conservative Party from Downing Street, after 14 years, in next month’s general election. But lawmakers in the opposition Labour Party have already warned that — should they win — they will inherit a hobbled economy with little room for bold changes.”
