Lessons from the 2024 Election Outcome

The 2024 general election results presented significant challenges for the Labour Party, as highlighted by Sir John Curtis. Notably, Labour achieved the lowest share of the vote for any majority government in British history, raising concerns about the party's actual electoral support. Despite winning a large parliamentary majority, criticisms emerged about Labour's inability to attract a substantial number of Conservative voters, with many opting for Reform UK instead. This revelation underscores the precarious position Labour finds itself in, as tactical voting and a strong anti-Conservative sentiment largely influenced the election outcome.
