Britain’s Conservative Party endured big losses in early results from local elections being viewed as a test of support for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s government as a national election approaches.
, whose rash tax-cutting plans spooked financial markets, hammered the value of the pound and roiled the wider U.K. economy.
Sunak said Friday that “it’s always disappointing to lose hard-working Conservative councilors.” But he said he was “not detecting any massive groundswell of movement towards the Labour Party or excitement for its agenda.” “Labour are going to have their biggest lead over the Conservatives in terms of votes than at any point since 2010, but it’s going to be as much to do with the Conservatives being down as much as it is Labour being up,” he said.
The government says ID is required to vote in many democracies, and the move will help prevent voter fraud. Critics say there is little evidence electoral fraud is a problem in Britain.
