On May 7, 2015, British citizens will elect representatives to sit in the House of Commons, the country's lower house of parliament, for the next five years.
“During last night’s debate you proved that you cannot defend your record, which is why you cannot win a majority. It is now clear that you are preparing to do a deal with UKIP,” Burnham said.
According to a BBC tracker that measures poll support for the parties, the two major rivals in the upcoming elections are the Conservative Party and the Labour party, accounting for potential 34 percent of UK votes each. UKIP, demanding a vote on United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union be held this year, polls third with 13 percent of respondents.
The vast budget cuts for NHS over the past year became a crucial issue in the run-up to the May 7 UK general election.
“Your deal with UKIP is a poisonous proposition that would deny working people the care they rely on from a service they cherish,” Burnham warned.
The upcoming election is expected to be one of the tightest election campaigns in recent UK political history with another hung parliament predicted. This would force the main political parties, Conservatives and Labour, to form a coalition with at least one other party.
