Summary

The 2017 United Kingdom general election was held on the 8th of June 2017 following numerous letters of no confidence being sent to incumbent Prime Minister Jayden Berry, who was forced to call a general election due to his mishandling and potential causing of the 2017 Great British Famine, which wrecked havoc on much of Great Britain, particularly England. Newly elected Labour leader Jack Burrows initially held a disunited party after a contentious party election in the 2016 Labour Party election, but his grassroots support had grew by the time an election was announced. Though having an initial lead, the Conservative Party's support fell due to Labour attacks on the personal lack of responsibility of Prime Minister Jayden and the slowly increasing deadliness of the famine. Eventually, as the Exit poll was announced it was predicting a substantial Labour Party majority of 360 seats, with Jayden and the Conservatives winning only 204 seats. This election showed the strong public outrage over the disastrous famine which led to Jayden M. Berry resigning as Conservative leader only days following the result, later being exiled from the country by Jack to help alleviate pressures on the food supply, a leading reason for the eventual end of the famine in December of the same year.

^ Given that Sinn Féin MPs do not take their seats and the Speaker and deputies do not vote, the number of MPs needed for a majority is, in practice, slightly lower. Sinn Féin won 7 seats, meaning a practical majority requires at least 320 MPs.
^ Nicola Sturgeon sits as an MSP in the Scottish Parliament for Glasgow Southside. Before the election, the SNP delegation to the House of Commons was led by Angus Robertson, MP for Moray, who lost his seat. Ian Blackford, MP for Ross, Skye and Lochaber, succeeded him.
