After 14 years and countless scandals, U.K. voters seem ready to dump Conservatives

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak speaks to farmers as he campaigns on a farm near Barnstaple in North Devon, Britain, June 18, 2024. Public opinion polls show Sunak's party is headed for an historic loss in the July 4th election.
