Election Results Day: What Happens Next?

There has been much discussion over the last few weeks about the plans of the major parties. But as we approach the day of the general election what will happen in the days and weeks after the election result is known?

A Conservative win

If the Conservatives were to win, we can expect a continuation of the agenda they have followed in the last couple of years under Rishi Sunak with a King's speech in mid-July to open parliament including announcements of the legislative programme to implement their manifesto priorities in the first session of the new parliament. The summer recess normally runs from late July until early September when parliament briefly reconvenes before a second recess during the rest of September for the party conferences. A budget would then be expected in October/November.
