LONDON
Millions of voters across the UK are casting their ballots on Thursday to elect 650 MPs to the House of Commons, the lower house of the British Parliament.
The election is taking place under the first-past-the-post system, where the candidate with the most votes in each of the 650 constituencies wins the seat.
With no runoffs, Thursday is the sole voting day, with polling stations open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. local time (0600-2100 MT).
Most polls show the opposition Labour Party heavily favored to win, potentially ending a 14-year-long stretch of Conservative Party rule.
Anadolu caught up with London-based voters to hear what they have to say on what could be a pivotal election for the country’s future.

'I don't believe in them'
One voter expressed strong disillusionment with the major political parties.
Despite a lifelong habit of voting for Labour while living in England, he can no longer support the party due to a lack of trust in its leader's stance on gender issues, he explained.
"Labour will win, that's for sure, but I've always voted Labour during my time in England. I'm originally from Ireland. I can't support them anymore because I don't trust the party leader,” he said, referring to Keir Starmer.
He continued: "So I can't vote for a party like that, and obviously I hate the Tories (Conservatives), Lib Dems (Liberal Democrats), what they stand for. Labour will get in, but the country will be in trouble in a few months because the Tories have left such a legacy of issues."
"My most important issue, which won't be looked at, is the NHS,” or National Health Service, he explained.
“I really do think this gender ideology thing bugs me, because I don't believe any of it. It's all nonsense. But if I say that, I might lose my job," he added, apparently referring to the practice of gender transition.
'We need change'
Another voter shared a sense of hopelessness about the future, saying: "Well, I'm hoping whoever fights for us gets in. We need change. Definitely, we need it. We need our country back. We need more schooling for our kids, hospital appointments, NHS. Something has to be done."
She added: “Probably it doesn't matter who gets in, nothing's gonna change. It's beyond repair, really. I can't see anything changing, but who knows. I just hope I'm wrong."
Having secured victories in the last three general elections – 2015, 2017, and 2019 – the Conservative Party now finds itself trailing significantly. Recent polls show the main opposition Labour Party with a commanding 20-point lead, positioning it for a decisive victory.
There has also been a surge in support for the right-wing Reform UK party, led by anti-immigrant politician Nigel Farage, setting the stage for a crucial battle on Thursday.

The Houses of Parliament
A full break down of the number of seats predicted by the poll conducted for the BBC, ITV and Sky News is as follows:
- Labour: 410
- Conservatives: 131
- Liberal Democrats: 61
- Reform: 13

- Others: 19
General election exit poll signals Labour back in power in landslide result
The Labour party is projected to win a landslide general election victory on a scale not seen for decades, according to the closely watched exit poll.
The poll, conducted by Ipsos MORI for the BBC, ITV and Sky News, forecasts Keir Starmer’s Labour will win 410 seats, and a majority of around 170 seats.
The result, if it proves accurate, would grant Labour a significant majority in the House of Commons, where 326 is the magic number of seats needed for a majority of two to get government business through.

The Tories are forecast to win just 131 seats, down 241 on 2019. The Lib Dems are forecast to win 61 and Reform 13, with the SNP on just 1o – down 38 in a huge blow for the governing party at Holyrood.
The exit poll is only a forecast of what the result is likely to be in the election, with no constituencies yet declaring their official results.
While recent exit polls have been broadly accurate in predicting the final result, they have proven wrong in the past.
Infamously, in 1992, the exit poll suggested the likeliest outcome was a hung parliament with the Conservatives short by 25 seats. However, Conservative Prime Minister John Major defied the odds and secured a majority of 21.
More recently in 2015, the exit poll forecast the Conservatives would be short of a majority by 10 seats, but the Tories ended up securing a majority of 10 seats.

Helen Chandler-Wilde: What Exit Poll Says About Election Results
The Houses of Parliament

I had privately predicted results similar to this for Labour and the Tories, but the predictions that made me gasp were those for Reform winning 13 seats — and the SNP slumping to just 10. In the last general election, Reform didn’t exist. The SNP, on the other hand, won 48 seats in 2019, making them the third-largest party in Parliament.
UK Election Exit Poll Predicts Labour Landslide

Note: Data from 2019 election relates to the new electoral boundaries
The exit poll predicts that the Liberal Democrats have also performed very well, getting their largest number of seats ever — and massively improving from their win of 11 seats in 2019.
I am sure these are not the only results that will have me gasping tonight. There are 650 chances of shock results. Based on the exit poll, the BBC have updated their predictions for the seats of high profile Conservative politicians. Each is more shocking than the last: Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has been given a 19% chance of retaining his seat, Defence Secretary Grant Shapps 6%. Former Tory party leader Iain Duncan Smith was given less than a 1% chance of winning.
Given exit polls’ accuracy — it hasn’t been more than a handful of seats off in the last five general elections — these results are worth bearing in mind. But for the actual results, follow the Bloomberg live blog through the night and into the morning.
