All opinion polls indicate a change in the majority and expect a landslide victory for the Labor Party.

78 conservative MPs have already announced that they will not participate in these elections. Among these defections in recent days, one was particularly notable: Lucy Allan, who immediately lent her support to the candidate of the Reform Party, the far-right party, reinforcing the impression that the camp was in a state of complete collapse.
