UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has called a general election <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/05/38972328/uk-to-hold-snap-election-on-july-4-rishi-sunak-announces-surprising-decision">to be held on July 4.</a> If the polls are correct and recent council elections are anything to go by, the election could deliver a landslide victory to the Labour Party, currently the main opposition against Sunak&#8217;s Conservative Party.
How Does The UK Election System Work?
Unlike the college votes system in the U.S., the UK operates a more simple version of the first-past-the-post system.
The UK is politically divided into 650 constituencies, each represented by a member of parliament (MP) in Westminster, London.
On polling day, each person casts a single vote for one candidate on the ballot card. The candidate with the most votes wins that constituency. The political party that wins the most constituencies becomes the new ruling party, and its leader is sworn in by the King as prime minister.
Why Has An Election Been Called Now?
It&#8217;s a constitutional obligation to hold a general election in the U.K. every five years. Sunak could have waited until December to call the election for January 2025, but &#8211; in a surprise announcement on May 22 &#8211; he set the date for July 4.
Why didn&#8217;t he wait? He likely considered the benefits of hanging around were too few. The Conservatives have held power since David Cameron led the party to victory in the 2010 general election. Things were looking pretty stable for a while &#8211; there was cohesion in the party, the economy was on the up and the Conservative &#8211; and Cameron&#8217;s &#8211; mandate was renewed at the 2015 election.
However, a string of devisive events, including the Brexit referendum in 2016, the Conservative party&#8217;s difficulties in adopting Brexit-related policies and new trade terms, and the mishandling of the COVID-19 crisis, have resulted in the resignation of four prime ministers over the past six years.
And Sunak&#8217;s own position has been built on a less-than-stable foundation since he took the helm following Liz Truss&#8216; record short tenure as PM. The Conservative Party leadership has lost the trust of many of its MPs, with several now declaring they will not contest their seats on July 4.
He&#8217;s now throwing the dice, gambling that the Labour Party and its leader Keir Starmer are unprepared for a snap election.
What Happens In The Coming Weeks?
As the Electoral Commission springs into action to get polling cards sent to all registered voters and prepare voting locations and official vote counters, the political parties are putting the final details to their election manifestos.
In recent days Sunak&#8217;s team has unveiled its list of priority policies, including bringing back national service, reducing public health waiting lists and reduced taxation and spending &#8211; all aimed at its key 60+ demographic.
Starmer has hit the campaign trail with pledges to reform the health service, grow the economy and tighten up on border security. On taxation, Labour plans to crack down on tax-avoiders, but plans no rises in corporation or personal taxes.
Among the main differentiating factors is environmental&nbsp;policy. The Conservative Party has, over the past several months, backtracked on some of its environmental commitments.
Labour, however, remains committed to its green pledges, including clean power by 2030, the establishment of a new publicly-owned energy company and to increase windfall taxes on oil and gas producers.

How Have Markets Reacted?
And it&#8217;s these green energy pledges that have had the biggest impact on UK markets in the past few sessions.
Shares in National Grid Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NGG#NYSE">NGG</a>), the UK energy distribution giant, have fallen 15% in two days after announcing a £7 billion ($8.94 billion) rights issue to help fund its green investment up to March 2029.
Meanwhile, fears that Labour could wholly or partially re-nationalize swathes of the utilities sector following its announcement of plans to create a new publicly-owned energy company sent shivers through water and energy stocks.
&#8220;Overall, we see most risk at the water companies, where we expect most rhetoric and a key political battle ground ahead of next election,&#8221; said Citi analysts in a note last week.
Water companies United Utilities (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUGRY#OTC">UUGRY</a>) and Severn Trent (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STRNY#OTC">STRNY</a>) were down 7.9% and 7% respectively last week.
Since the May 22 announcement, the FTSE 100 index is down nearly 1%.
Among the U.S. stocks exposed to UK risk is Walgreens Boots Alliance (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBA#NASDAQ">WBA</a>), whose shares have fallen 13% over the past week.
Boots is one of the biggest high street retailers in the UK and, although no specific policies have been announced that might affect the stock, investors appear cautious.
Since the announcement, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Gilt has risen 127 basis points, pushing prices lower, over concerns of increased government borrowing under a potential new Labour government.

Exane BNP Paribas Upgrades National Grid to Outperform

On Friday, the&nbsp;New York State Energy Research and Development Authority&nbsp;(NYSERDA)&nbsp;reportedly disclosed receiving bids from several energy companies, such as&nbsp;Equinor ASA&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EQNR#NYSE">EQNR</a>) and&nbsp;National Grid PLC&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NGG#NYSE">NGG</a>), for supplying power from three offshore wind projects in its expedited fourth solicitation.
The bid will allow developers to exit old contracts and re-offer projects at higher prices, reported Reuters.
Equinor&#8217;s spokesperson told Reuters, if the contract is awarded, &#8220;construction at South Brooklyn Marine Terminal is expected to begin in the first half of this year, first power is expected in 2026.&#8221;&nbsp;
The company projects the commercial operation date to be in 2027.
As per the report, the New York solicitation came after a difficult phase in 2023 when several developers canceled old contracts to sell offshore wind power in states such as Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Jersey due to escalating inflation, mounting interest rates, and supply chain challenges.
As offshore wind development is crucial for meeting national and state clean energy targets, New York and other states allowed developers to cancel old contracts and rebid at higher levels.
Last Thursday, Equinor secured full ownership of Empire Wind and South Brooklyn Marine Terminal lease, aligning with New York&#8217;s clean energy goals. The cash-neutral deal with&nbsp;BP PLC&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>) allowed Equinor to pursue NY&#8217;s offshore ambitions while&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/01/36799247/wind-of-change-energy-giants-equinor-bp-give-offshore-wind-power-project-deal-a-second-chance" rel="noreferrer noopener">BP took charge of Beacon Wind projects</a>.
Following the deal signing, Equinor submitted a bid for the Empire Wind 1 project in New York&#8217;s fourth offshore wind solicitation round and said that it has also been agreed with the NYSERDA to terminate the Offshore Wind Renewable Energy Certificate (OREC) Purchase and Sale Agreement for the Beacon Wind 1 project.&nbsp;
Price Action: EQNR shares are trading lower by 0.34% at $29.08 premarket on the last check Monday.&nbsp;&nbsp;
