The UK elections is over. Labour has won convincingly and Rishi Sunak has conceded defeat.
The dynamics of this UK election show that the dynamics of UK politics has changed for some time to come.

How?

1. The Power of Immigrants:
Peter Obi tweeted "Vote Labour" and an avalanche of African votes moved to Labour. Remember when David Cameron attended an RCCG crusade in the UK and Pastor Adeboye laid hands on him in front of the audience? Well, that act galvanized support from Africans broadly for the Conservatives. With the new realities in Nigeria and the silence of Adeboye in the face of "political realities" in Nigeria, the mantle of influence has now moved to Peter Obi, who enjoys broad support among Africans. Conversely, Rishi tweeted support for a flawed Nigerian election and then tried to stem legal migration for Africans. Well, it is safe to say that he got the middle finger from immigrant votes. Even the Indians were astounded as to how he would have pushed forward the current immigration bill barring dependents from coming to the UK.

2. Global Politics:
In Europe and North America, global politics and happenings now have a say in internal elections. The current ones; Israel-Palestinian and Russia-Ukraine were dominant topical issues. For instance, citizens and non-citizens from Eastern Europe resident in the UK, could not fathom the dwindling support of the UK for Ukraine when they could see how Boris Johnson galvanized support for Ukraine. It is not actually Rishi's fault, the UK couldn't just keep sending money and weapons to a war that couldn't be won. Who says politics is a rational thing? Thus, many voted on emotions and sentiments to send Labour to Number 10. Furthermore, the Muslims who are obviously angry at the Conservative's support for Israel in the ongoing battle against Hamas, simply switched to Labour.

3. Home Alone Don't Matter Anymore:
With more than 10 political parties in the fray (yes the two dominant ones are Labour and Conservatives, but there are others), home votes (UK citizens) can no longer be depended upon to win an election. Africans, Middle Easterners, Eastern Europeans, Indians now form a "Swing Vote". I guess the conservatives didn't see this coming. Additionally, thousands of home vote who traditionally vote for conservatives swung towards labour after what they did to Boris Johnson (The man who helped them smash the Red Wall).

Well, cheers to New Beginnings in the UK under a Labour Party. Aside cost of living and economic hardships, what made you vote labour? Lets have your comments.

Ps: The population of Nigerians in the UK is not enough to swing UK general elections.

Melagros:
