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.

The Central Bank raised interest rates, pushing mortgage rates over 2% as a response to the increased burden on homebuyers. To alleviate this, the Ministry of Finance launched the 'New Qing'an' scheme under the eight major state-owned banks, providing interest subsidies. However, issues like subletting and straw buyers arose. After investigating initial offenders, mainly subletting tenants, the banks identified low-risk cases within the high-risk inventory and plan to reconsider loans and reclaim interest subsidies. Measures include requiring new borrowers to sign affidavits and stopping subsidies for violations, with approximately 5,798 loans totaling over 428.1 billion NT dollars granted under the New Qing'an scheme from August last year to the end of May this year.
