Elections – Summary Information

United Kingdom
The results of the elections in the United Kingdom have been very similar for many years, the political scene is almost unchanged or there are very small changes. The winner is always one of the two dominant parties - the right-wing Conservative party (this party has more election victories) or the left-wing Labour party (fewer election victories).
