On June 20, 2024, the UK is set to hold a parliamentary election on July 4, with the latest polls showing the ruling Conservative Party trailing the Labour Party by as much as 25 percentage points. Prime Minister Johnson may not only face a change in government but also risk losing his parliamentary seat. Additionally, the UK sees the debut of its first AI candidate, named Steve, who is a virtual representation of tech company chairman Steve Endacott and claims to be available round-the-clock to answer voter queries. Despite promises to bring AI into parliament if elected, voters seem skeptical. The campaign season is intense, with various candidates resorting to attention-grabbing tactics such as staged falls or playful park antics. The latest polls indicate Labour is poised to win 425 seats, leading the Conservatives by a significant margin. Johnson's challenging tenure, marked by the pandemic and international conflicts, may not only lead to his resignation as prime minister but also jeopardize his parliamentary seat, especially after his aide's arrest in a gambling scandal related to the election date prediction. Nigel Farage, key figure in Brexit, also faces campaign challenges, with incidents like a milkshake attack. As the Conservatives struggle politically, the potential defeat in the election looms large for Johnson's government.
