Who’s who in the general election? An explainer for children by The Week Junior

Collage of leaders Rishi Sunack, Keir Starmer and Ed Davey.

We've teamed up with The Week Junior to share their overview of the main parties in the general election and what they're offering voters.

Tomorrow (4 July), adults across UK will be voting in the general election. Voters will choose someone to be a Member of Parliament (MP) to represent their constituency (local area) and sit in the House of Commons. There are 650 seats in the House of Commons, and nearly all MPs are members of a political party. The party with the most MPs then forms the government and its leader become Prime Minister. For the last 14 years the Conservative Party is in charge.
