How will Britons vote in the next election?

COUNTRIES THAT are home to more than 4bn people will hold elections in 2024. Britain is almost certain to be among them; its general election must be called no later than December 17th (which would mean the actual vote happens in January 2025). As exercises in mass democracy go, Britain’s 47m eligible voters pale in comparison with the enormous electorates in America (160m eligible voters) and India (950m). But its outcome looks likely to be consequential. The electoral pendulum swings slowly in Britain: the Conservatives have been in office for 13 consecutive years, and Labour had been in government for the same amount of time before them. The next election looks likely to result in another transfer of power.
