The upcoming UK general election in 2024 is set to be a crucial one, with a record number of over 4,000 candidates vying for votes on July 4th. The key issues shaping the vote include economic stagnation, a housing crisis, the cost of living, immigration, and foreign policy concerns.
Al Jazeera’s reporter Paul Brennan is on the ground in the southern port town of Dover, where these issues are particularly pertinent. The town’s proximity to Europe makes immigration a hot topic, while economic struggles and high housing costs are impacting residents.
As the election approaches, voters will be looking to see which candidates offer viable solutions to these pressing issues. With such a large pool of candidates, each with their own platform, it will be crucial for voters to carefully consider their options and make an informed decision on polling day.
