According to a report by CNN on July 5, 2024, the UK's opposition Labour Party won a landslide victory in the parliamentary elections on the 4th. However, they now face a tough question: why did so many voters stay home and not vote? Official data shows that the voter turnout in this election was just under 60%, meaning over 40% of voters chose to stay home. Reasons for low voter turnout include some voters believing the election outcome was already determined, while in Scotland, some families were on vacation due to the school summer break. Delayed mail-in ballots and political disillusionment also contributed to the low turnout rate.
