Keir Starmer's center-left Labour Party has is the likely winner of the UK general election by a landslide per exit polling. Starmer unseats incumbent Rishi Sunak's center-right Conservative Party. Nigel Farage's right-wing Reform UK came in 4th place behind the Liberal Democrats, winning 13 seats, far more than was projected. This would give Farage a seat in Parliament after seven failed attempts.

Farage was a Brexiteer, advocating for the removal of the UK from the European Union. In a video post, Farag said "The revolt against the establishment is underway." He said that when all was said and done, Reform will have earned over 6 million votes.

Millions of Brits headed to the polls to cast their vote on Thursday, selecting their pick for their local representative in the House of Commons. In the UK, the party that is declared the winner of the general election must win 326 out of 650 parliamentary seats, per CBS News. Its leader is then elected as Prime Minister and a government is formed.

Labour received 410 seats per exit polling while Conservatives received 131, making Keir Starmer the UK's new Prime Minister, BBC News reports. Rishi Sunak will step down in what is being called "the worst defeat for the Conservatives in the nearly 200-year history of the party."

Sunak had called for the snap election in late May, leading to King Charles dissolving the Parliament. While the Prime Minister had claimed that his government had reduced inflation and grown the economy faster than other G7 alliance members, many argued that the economy was actually stalling, per The Guardian. Sunak's plan to send incoming migrants to Rwanda has also faced many challenges and wasted millions in taxpayers' money.

Farage had been hopeful he could sway voters towards his Reform UK Party, noting that both the popular Conservative and Labour parties were one of the same and that if Starmer were elected it would be a "change of middle management" that would not produce a desired shift in the state of the country. Reform UK received 13 seats after the vote.
