LONDON: Britain is drifting towards a general election later this year that is increasingly resembling a slow bicycle race. Opinion Poll released on April 18 shows satisfaction with both Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer falling — both have far more voters dissatisfied with them than happy. This is scarcely surprising. Britain’s social problems are piling up and the country is drifting into escalating international conflict, yet neither offers any solutions.
