The UK's Labour Party is expected to suffer significant losses in local elections, with about 5,000 local councilors and a handful of mayors across England, as well as semiautonomous parliaments in Scotland and Wales. The results could trigger attempts by Labour lawmakers to oust their leader, Prime Minister Richard Starmer, who led the party to power less than two years ago. The local elections are expected to see the collapse of the traditional two-party system, which was dominated by the Labour and Conservative parties for decades. The main winner is likely to be hard-right party Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, aiming for working-class, former Labour strongholds in England's north and London's outer edges with its anti-establishment message. The Green Party is also expected to gain hundreds of council seats in urban centers and university towns.
