British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has unexpectedly announced that the general election will take place on July 4th. This announcement comes at a time when several gambling reforms are being actively discussed in the United Kingdom.
Lawmakers have yet to reach a consensus on the bills presented in the official document dated April 2023, raising concerns about the future of the proposed reforms. The upcoming elections, set for six weeks from now, are expected to significantly delay the completion of the reform program.
Currently, polls by Britain Elects show the Labour Party leading Sunak's Conservatives by a margin of 41% to 20%. This suggests that Labour is likely to form the next government, which would mean that the final stages of gambling reform will be overseen by a Keir Starmer-led administration.
