Catholics in Britain are being urged by their Church's leaders to "get involved and vote” when general elections are held for the UK Parliament on 4 July 2024, after the UK prime minister surprised many by calling what amounts to a snap election.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced the election last week, with his Conservative Party looking like it will fall to the Labour Party following 14 years in power. Most had expected the election to be called for some time in autumn. The earlier than expected date is deemed by most a tactical move by the prime minister to either bolster his party’s chances of clinging on to power, or limiting the damage if it loses.
