English citizens shared their thoughts on the incumbent government ahead of the 2024 UK general election, with some claiming 'a new start is required', during interviews filmed in London on Tuesday.

"I think it has been a woeful performance for the incumbent government and I won't be surprised if they are out of power for 10 years," said a local priest, Father Daniel.

Some local students said they believe Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is struggling to 'connect with the people', claiming his financial status means he hasn't "seen what the reality is actually like for the average British person."

"You know, he's a billionaire. So, he doesn’t know what a hard time is. Do I feel sorry for him? Not really. You know, I mean I think he will be gone and I think he will be in America by the end of the year," another local agreed.

On Monday, Sunak urged right-wing voters to vote for the Conservative Party, claiming Nigel Farage's Reform UK 'can't stand up to Labour.'

"There's a rump of people in the UK who will always vote conservative, no matter what. I don’t think they will be wiped out, but they will certainly regroup, it’s how they regroup which is going to be important," one local commented.

The local students called the right-wing UK Reform leader, Farage, 'an actual joke' and claimed his 'main views are racist.' Meanwhile, another local defended the anti-immigration politician.

"We've got 10 million more people in this country than we had in the year 2000 and a lot of the problems we face are because of the sheer numbers and it's just being ignored, really. Nigel Farage has tried to raise [these issues] and keep it in the frame, but I think there's been a lot of smearing going on to make him out to be some sort of a racist," he said.

Polling stations for this year's UK general election will open on Thursday from 07:00 am to 10:00 pm local time. Voters in each of the 650 constituencies will be electing an MP to represent them at the House of Commons.
