Measurement: Tories heading for historic electoral collapse
The Labor Party would beat the Tory Party by a very good margin if there were a British election today, according to a new opinion poll from YouGov that The Telegraph refers to.
The victory would change the order in the parliament considerably and give the current opposition a crushing majority, 384 seats for Labor against 169 for the Tories. At the moment, Labor has 198 seats against 349 for Tory.
According to the British newspaper, it would be the biggest "collapse" for a governing party since 1906.
The next well is expected to be held in the second half of 2024.

Data on 20 days of silence between Biden and Israel: "The situation sucks"
US President Joe Biden and his associates are said to be annoyed because they feel that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not listening to US demands regarding Gaza.
According to information to the site Axios, there are several signs of growing frustration even though the White House has officially supported Israel in the 100 days since October 7. The leaders have not spoken to each other for 20 days and their last contact was by phone. Then Biden concluded by saying: "This conversation is over."
- The situation sucks and we have hit a snag. The president's patience is about to run out, says a source.
The US is said to have voiced out that Israel must do more to let in humanitarian aid. Talks are also requested about what should happen when the war is over.

The US election is characterized by darkness: "A civil war is on the way"
There is a darkness of hopelessness over the American primaries that begin in Iowa on Monday, writes the New York Times in a report. The newspaper's reporter describes it as voters, ahead of the 2020 election, worried about the pandemic, the economy and the national protests sweeping the country. But this year, the concern has grown into something bigger.
- The feeling in Iowa right now is that we are sleepwalking into a nightmare, and there doesn't seem to be anything we can do about it, says Republican attorney Doug Gross, who has been active in state politics for nearly 40 years.
Both Donald Trump and Joe Biden are considered to contribute to the doom-filled atmosphere. Trump through his "dictatorial tendencies" and Biden with his arguments that democracy can collapse if he loses the election.
Mark Binns, a 65-year-old chemical engineer, is a voter who has been impressed by the politicians' messages.
- A civil war is on the way. I am convinced of that, he says.
