The election in Great Britain
Sunak against record race - urges voters to "save the country"

Everything points to a change of government in Great Britain after 14 years of Conservative rule. And with just four days to go until the election, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is changing the tone.

In an interview with The Telegraph, he calls on voters to "save the country" from Labor leader Keir Starmer's tax increases.

- Labor would ruin people of all generations. No matter where you are in life, Labor will raise your taxes, he says.

The election looks set to mean a huge defeat for Sunak's Tory Party. According to a compilation of opinion polls by The Economist, Labor is expected to get 465 of the 650 seats in parliament, while the conservative Tory Party gets a record low 76 seats.
