A tale of two elections

The general elections in the UK and the US have few similarities. It’s difficult to draw parallels between Rishi Sunak MP (Richmond and Northallerton/Conservatives) and Donald Trump, and Sir Keir Starmer MP (Holborn and St Pancras/Labour) and Kamala Harris.

The one coincidence is both occur on significant holidays in the respective countries. The UK election fell on Independence Day, the highest holiday in the US. In the US, their election has fallen on our Guy Fawkes Night, which continues to be symbolic for us.
