Background

In the 14th of April, 2023, the Speaker of the House of Commons, TheBritishUnion, became the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom for a second term following an unopposed leadership election for the governing Conservative and Unionist Party, after the resignation of former Prime Minister BenHenley due to internal party disagreements over the role of the Levelling Up secretary and Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, ThomasHenley, as well as subsequent cabinet resignations that led to the loss of confidence in the Prime Minister. The aforementioned Conservative and Unionist Party – had governed the United Kingdom since the November 2022 general election, with the first Conservative government under Prime Minister ShiforRBLX with a narrow majority in Parliament with 26 seats. TheBritishUnion succeeded Shifor in his first term as the leader of the Conservatives, further increasing the majority to 29 seats in the January 2023 general election, the best ever result for the Conservatives in British electoral history. In the May 2023 general election, TheBritishUnion lost his single-party parliamentary majority to 21 seats, resulting in successful coalition talks with the Voice Party and a fourth straight Conservative government. However, in the 21st of June, 2023, the Voice Party announced their withdrawal from the coalition agreement with the Conservatives, due to a number of factors, including low government approval ratings and high opposition approval ratings, uncertainty amongst cabinet members, and previous accusations and scandals that culminated in the collapse of the coalition cabinet and calls for an early general election were made shortly after. Prime Minister TBU was replaced by Marcus_Stuyvesant, the Minister of State for Commonwealth and International Development.

Seat increase

The seats in the House of Commons were increased from fifty (50) to sixty (60) following the Amendment to the Electoral Provisions Act 2021 by Minister without Portfolio martinbani22. This change takes place this election.
