- For 14 years, the Conservative Party, also known as the Tories, has led the U.K., but that could soon change. BBC polling shows the Labour Party is on track to win the largest share of parliamentary seats in the upcoming July 4 election. Adrian Wooldridge, global business columnist at Bloomberg Opinion, joins CBS News to discuss.

As a Brit I am getting the beer and snacks in for election night to watch every second of the vile Tory being booted out of power 🍿😂
Beer is haram. After Labour comes in, they will hopefully ban it.
@@sheehan92Seethe and cope, nazoid.
Hopefully Reform will pick up a few seats.
@@sheehan92Try it. You might like it!
I'm the same. Booked the day after the election off work as soon as it was announced. Oh and swap the beer for champagne 😊
All it took was tanking the country… but the voters finally learned.
They've learnt NOTHING, they will just vote for another party that is controlled by the bankers and string pullers. The SAME people will carry on screwing this country for what they can get out of it, with a new face in charge. It's a con, and you have pretend politicians like Farage muddying the waters further.
~40-45% of them will end up voting Tory or Reform.
They've learned nothing.
The Conservative party went too liberals. No wonder they set to lose their majority in parliamentary
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO the best news the world has heard in WEEKS
I've had ENOUGH excitement from this incompetent Tory party for a LONG time.
I'll prefer a bit of stability, credibility and even boredom to be perfectly honest.
Labour Party for Sharia law. Boredom? LOL
Quiet, competent government is really underrated, particularly in today’s climate…
@@sheehan92Don’t be silly.
Prepare for mass migration, even worse than it is under the Tories, five years under Labour and not a single place in England will look like England anymore😂
@@wanderingfool6312 it’s already happening in certain constituencies
Fantastic - get rid of the top 10% self interest party.
And replace them with the top 10% pretending to care about the other 90% while drinking champagne party?
The UK needs real change and a real opposition to keep the change going.
Top 10%? More like top 1%.
Smells like Canada in '93.

Yep, and the Tories promised to get migration under control in agreement when the Brexit Party stood down in 2019, and they betrayed those voters. They deserve whatever they get.
Technically they lost their majority in 2017, but just barely clung on to power. They didn't have a majority in 2010 either
Coalition and then minority government in 2017
@@briandelaney9710 So, no majorities for the Conservative Party between 2010 - 2015 and 2017 -2019.

The title is wrong. They lost their majority in 2017, and didn't have a majority from 2010 to 2015.
Good job CBS 👏 🙄
UK is an elected dictatorship? Bit of an oxymoron but no. The prime minister does not have unlimited power. The party can vote against the PM and if they do not have trust in the PM, a vote of no confidence can be called leading to the PM being replaced. This is different to the US where a single politician can be elected despite losing the popular vote (fewer people voted Trump in 2016 than Clinton). The president has a significant amount of power and can create laws with executive order. Every law in the UK MUST be voted on in Parliament.
It’s an elected dictatorship in that there is minimum separation of powers.
The legislature and executive are intrinsically linked, and the latter dominates the former when a party has a big majority.
The judiciary, even with a new Supreme Court, is pretty weak.
Because we have the archaic First Past the Post electoral system, millions of votes are meaningless. A candidate can get only 20% of votes in a constituency but if every other candidate only gets 19% of votes or less, the 20% candidate wins the seat. Meaning 80% of votes are discarded.
Hence the Reform Party (who I detest) can get 17% of the vote nationally and win only a handful of seats. But the Lib Dem’s (who I support) can poll 15% nationally and get 50 seats, due to their support being concentrated in specific areas.
If anyone thinks Labour is the saviour then get your buckets ready for the tears to come 😂
Litterally, they're centrists who'll do nothing
No political party can save people from themselves. They sowed the wind.
Hopefully the USA will follow suit in November and reject oppressive conservatism as well.
Hopefully the USA will reject the chaos and division of MAGA.
Fingers crossed! 😁
This is a lesson for America.
You CAN be so incompetent that it brakes the 2 party system.
I don't think that the UK is as polarized as it is here. But I hope you are right.
@@Gypsum179 One big difference between the UK and America is that 3rd parties do exert some power in the UK.
3rd parties get maybe 15% of the seats in the UK, as opposed to 0% in the US. The secret to having successful 3rd parties is to make them regional. The SNP, Plaid Cymru and even the Lib Dems can punch above their weight by targeting their seats.
If a US 3rd party could focus on one area and prioritise local issues (say, the mid-West), and win one or two seats in congress in a smallish state(s) then suddenly they’re in business. So many senate votes go down to the wire, but for some reason the US 3rd parties seem to spend most of the their energy trying to become president, which is pointless.
Wonderful.👍👍
They lost their majority in 2017
Loss of confidence and hope for the better has compelled the people of Britain to choose for themselves a better premier than those who have been ruling over them for quite a long time without any bright image.
The title is incorrect. While they led the government for 14 years, they didn't have a majority from 2010-2015 and 2017-2019 and had to have a coalition with another party
Exactly thought of this.
17-19 wasn't a coalition, it was a supply and demand agreement
Confidence and supply arrangement @@zo7034
Wrong. They were the governing party for 14 years. They did have a coalition from 2010 to 2015, but they were the major party. From 2017-2019 it's entirely false to say they have a coalition. They never made decisions together with the Democratic Unionist Party. They governed alone.
They have also been the majority party for 14 years.
@@mattbooth307 yeh they were supported by the DUP for a £1 billion. Wonder if they ever got that for ni?
If you do some research into the economic conditions of the UK over the past several years, it can be shocking. One statistic I saw was something like the average household income in Britain outside of London is lower than the average household income of Mississippi. One economist described the UK as “almost a third world country with London attached to it.”
As an American, I’m glad we have a large enough percentage of minority voters that our Republican Party refuses to appeal sincerely to. Otherwise, all the old, rich, white people in this country probably would’ve kept the GOP in power for at least as long as the Conservatives have been in power in the UK and I’d argue that our version of the Conservatives have gone much farther off the rails. And even then, the GOP has had to use gerrymandering, the electoral college, voter suppression tactics, and other anti-democracy methods to keep any kind of meaningful power at the federal level.
Major payback for deep corruption and pathological lies from amateur politicians. Wipeout and celebrations on route!!!
And by majority he means existence.
Lend us some of your energy to the US please! 😀
R.P2..
Saying the SNP is in the same boat is so incredibly false. They're polling lower and will likely lose SOME seats but they'll likely end up with a similar number of seats to labour or one will have a small amount more than the other. They aren't beaten to the ground like the tories.
This interviewer didn't ask a single thing about the reform party. It took the interviewee tothe very last sentence he spoke to bring up Farage and the Reform party which he also connected to Trump. That's CBS for you; anything not to mention Trump in a positive light.
Italian levels of chaos…. Love it!
They didn't have a majority in 2010 or 2017
The title of this video is actually incorrect:
The 2010 election which began these 14 years of Conservative governments did not actually give the Conservative Party a majority. They were just a few short of a majority, and formed a coalition with the Liberal Democrats to become a majority coalition.
This guy seems a bit clueless, the PM does not have unlimited power, and there are checks and balances with the House of Lords, as imperfect as that is.
Talking to both Labour and Conservative voters STOP !!!, look at our country, look at what we've become under the rule of both labour and conservative governments since the war, be honest with yourself, forget the well used partisan rhetoric and well rehearsed bs we all need REFORM.
In answer to ‘Are they tired with conservatives particularly?’, the two right-wing parties, Conservative and Reform, have been polling around 36% *combined* for the past two years. The only substantial movement has been between them. The alternative is boring, but right now the UK is ready for boring.
Umm... Last time the Tories lost their majority was in 2017. Before that, the last time a party lost their majority was in 2010 (14 years ago), but it was Labour who lost their majority, not Tories. Before that, the last time the Tories lost their majority was in 1997.
In 2010, no party had a majority which was why the Tories went into coalition with the Lib Dems.
"lose the majority" is a bit of an understatement

Two horrible errors here.
1. They did not have a majority from 2010-2015
2. They did not have a majority from 2017-2019
Otherwise, completely factual, well-done guys!
Factual? Completely ignores Reform UK as a factor in this election
Britain had it's nationalist shift to the right with Brexit and then saw the disaster that is neo liberal financial policy with Liz Truss. This is the swing back after that. Good riddance to the Tories, other than legalising gay marriage (which is probably more to do with the Liberal Democrats who they were in coalition with in the first term of their government) there's little you can point to as an improvement in Britain. The gap between rich and poor has increased dramatically, millions of working people plunged into poverty, the lies of Brexit are becoming clear to those duped into voting for it, hypocrisy, corruption and backhanders. Britain is a mess, it just amazes me that many people have taken so long to realise and amazes me even more that even 21 percent of people can find a reason to still vote for the tories.
Liz Truss was ousted by the bankers who put a former Goldmann Sachs gimp in charge, I don't like Truss, but say it how it was eh?. She stepped on the Bank of Englands toes.
It couldn't happen to more disagreeable people.
Astonishing...just when you think an American channel might cover some story from overseas, the story always has to be brought back and linked in someway to America - presumably in an attempt to make it palatable or comprehensible or relevant or accessible to domestic audiences.

Hey this is great news! As an American it gives me hope that our country will vote against conservatism and preserve democracy. Seriously proud of the U.K. ideally it will inspire hope in others like it did me.

Spent 2 seconds talking about Farage. Farage is the single headline from this election
He really isn’t, the UK right wing media is obsessed with him and that’s part of the reason the Tories are in such a mess, meanwhile the combined centre left vote at this election is likely to exceed 60% and with 500+ seats in Westminster there’s going to be a centre left super majority in parliament. This election is going to mark the comprehensive defeat of far right populism in British politics. The UK is not an extremist country, it is and always has been liberal with a small ‘l’.
Lmao, Farage getting upwards of 24% isn’t a “comprehensive defeat”. It’s a rejection of the liberalism of the Conservative Party
@@sacredweightsHow right wing must you be to think the Tories are liberal by any definition of the word. As the other contributor said, the UK is a moderate country and generally shuns the extremes of politics.
@@I_Evo our societies are born out of liberalism. You can be as “conservative” as you want but if you still support the system you are by definition a liberal.
Farage is most definitely a liberal.

Conservatives policies backfired. People are tired of conservatives making promises they never kept.
Worse they're tired of the ones they did keep
There's a lesson for the US here, but I doubt they'll learn it in time.
How could their policies have backfired if by your own admission, they never implemented such policies and failed to keep their promises?
@@Agtsmirnoff They very much implemented their policies, but their results were the total opposite of what they sold voters on 😛

Can I ask why? The muslim immigrants issue isn't what England people's concern anymore?
They didn’t get a majority until 2015, 9 years ago.
And they lost that in 2017.
Not to mention rampant corruption ... on a biblical scale.
It seems that the same thing is happening to the republican party
In one way the British public have wised up to the incompetence of the tories but in another way 16% of them are supporting the ‘reform’ party. They still haven’t learned. They deserve the government that they get !!
May lost the Tory majority in 2017
Untill parties in power start tackling inequallity there will continje to be anti-encumbant sentement.
brexit is now widely seen as having failed. WIll be interesting to see how Trump and Starmer get along or not. The UK now has the highest taxes since 1948.
Don't worry America you will get the same economic results if Trump comes through with his tariffs.
Wow the UK election being covered on a US broadcaster? Makes a change!
It’s great when a media company can’t even get the headline correct. The Tories have only had a majority since 2015.
My calculations suggest that is 9 years at time of writing.
Sorry, and also didn’t have one between 2017-2019. So the headline is even less correct.
The title is incorrect. The Conservatives lost their majority in 2017 (and regained it in 2019).
I hope so. 14 years of decline vote Labour 😅
Labour's offering is more of the same just with better branding. The UK needs real change!
We are the 6th richest country in the World but it feels like a Third World Country, and a broken country. The NHS is in crisis as are all other public services and we can't even find money to mend potholes in the roads. I can never remember (and I am 87) a Government more rotten and more worthy of contempt than this one!!
Thanks to incompetence of Tories 😅😅😂

The Labour Party is actually Red and the conservatives (tories) are Blue. So it’s more people are voting Red for democracy… but both are centre left within the respected political windows so your sentiment still stands :)

The title is wrong. The Tories initially formed a minority government in 2010 then got a majority in 2015 then lost their majority in 2017 and then got it back in 2019. Altogether about half of their tenure as government was with a majority and half as a minority.
They haven’t maintained a majority for 14 years. The confidence and supply agreement with the DUP from 2017-2019 is not a majority
the SNP isn't being "kicked out," they are losing seats but it is stabalising. There is no polling that says that it is not close between the SNP and labour.
This British analyst completely missed the Reform piece. Not the best analysis at all and fails to reflect that we have growing a further-right wing start up here in the UK which is also contributing to the election chaos which threatens to change politics in the UK going forward.
