The 57 general election seats set to be won by neither labour nor the tories

As the UK gears up for the General Election on July 4, predictions from the Electoral Calculus Vulnerable Seats Predictor reveal a fascinating landscape in which 57 seats are set to be won

by parties other than Labour and the Conservatives. This forecast comes as Labour is expected to gain a staggering 279 seats, while the Tories are predicted to suffer a significant loss of

301 seats. The Liberal Democrats are poised to make significant gains, expected to secure 53 seats in counties such as Oxfordshire, Essex, Eastern Manchester, and more. This resurgence marks

a notable shift in the political landscape, reflecting growing public support for the Lib Dems and other smaller parties. The Green Party is expected to capture a single seat, likely in

Bristol, which has been a stronghold for Green support. Additionally, the Scottish National Party (SNP) is predicted to win one seat, maintaining their presence in Scotland. Smaller parties

are also set to make their mark. Plaid Cymru, the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP), and the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) are each forecasted to win one seat. In total, Labour is

anticipated to win 475 seats, while the Conservatives are projected to secure just 75. The Liberal Democrats, with their predicted gains, will hold 61 seats. Meanwhile, Nigel Farage's

Reform UK party is expected to win no seats. Current polls show Labour with a strong lead, having 44 percent of the votes, while the Tories have 23 percent. A significant concern this

election season is voter ID requirements, as an estimated two million registered voters across England and Wales lack the necessary ID, potentially disenfranchising around four percent of

all registered voters. This issue has sparked considerable debate and concern regarding voter access and the fairness of the upcoming election. Voters have until June 18 to register, June 19

to apply for a postal vote, and June 26 to vote by proxy.
