2019 United Kingdom general election

A general election was held on 12 December 2019 to elect all 650 members to the House of Commons of the United Kingdom. The Labour Party won with a clear majority and Rishi Sunak was replaced by Alexander Redd as Prime Minister. This formed the first Labour government since the election of 2010. The Conservatives lost 98 seats, giving them their lowest number of seats (219) since 2005; and the Labour Party gained the most votes for a party in any UK general election.
This election defeat for the Conservatives triggered a set of leadership elections, and after some time, David Cameron - former Prime Minister between 2010 and 2016 - was re-elected as leader of the Conservative Party. Alexander Redd became Prime Minister and Rowan Atkinson became Deputy Prime Minister - one being an Socialist Campaign Group member and one being a former SCG member - making it the first clear left-wing Government since Old Labour in the 1970s.
Labour particularly made gains among the middle-class voters, very young and very old voters, and the North of England, as policies proposed in the manifesto - particularly in contrast with the unpopular social care situation, and with localism included - and Atkinson's Northern Group's presence all helped to reconnect Labour with the North, and helped the middle-class Labour vote to surpass the Conservative vote in many key areas.
A few unexpected outcomes were seen - the Labour Party made unexpected gains in Scotland, giving them the most seats since 2010; Bassetlaw flipped Conservative despite a national 10 point swing away from the Tories in that region; UKIP got a record number of seats; and the seat Atkinson contested (Shipley) had a swing of nearly 25 points away from Philip Davies, the incumbent Conservative MP, giving Atkinson a majority.
