The UK is set for a general election on the 4th with the Conservative Party led by Prime Minister Sunak and the Labour Party led by Starmer engaging in their final campaign day. Both parties are emphasizing economic issues, warning of serious consequences if the other party wins. Recent polls suggest the Conservatives may only secure 64 seats, ending their 14-year rule, while Labour is expected to win 484 seats, surpassing Blair's 1997 record. Sunak has campaigned on the improving economy under his 20-month leadership, while Labour focuses on dissatisfaction with public services and living standards. The Conservatives warn of increased taxes if Labour wins more seats. The election was called early by Sunak amidst economic crises and scandals, with Labour leading in polls. Sunak, the youngest modern UK PM at 44, urged voters to prevent Labour's 'extreme policies.' Starmer, as Labour leader, aims for a left-leaning stance.
