2016 parliamentary election

The 2016 parliamentary election in the UK was held on June 8, 2017, to elect Members of Parliament (MPs) to the House of Commons. Voters chose representatives from various political parties, primarily Labour, Conservative, Liberal Democrats, and others. The election resulted in a hung parliament, meaning no party had an outright majority. The Conservatives, led by Theresa May, won the most seats but fell short of a majority, leading to a coalition with the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP). The election was significant for its timing amid ongoing debates about Brexit and UK political stability.
