MOSCOW (Sputnik), Daria Chernyshova — A Labour minority government is a very likely result of the May 7 general elections in the United Kingdom, a British lawmaker told Sputnik, adding that it will also mean an end to the unfair treatment of the poor, squeezed by austerity measures.

“I would say we will have a Labour minority government,” Mike Hancock told Sputnik on Wednesday. “I am sure that will mean an end to the unfair way which the poorest of our society are treated.”

Hancock, who is standing for reelection in Portsmouth South, said that poor people have suffered a lot, and will see more bad things happening to if the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats get reelected to government.

He also expressed hope that if elected, Labour will not allow the Liberal Democrats to be ministers in a coalition, but run the country as a minority government, relying on support for issues on a vote-by-vote basis.

On Tuesday, the British Trade Union Congress (TUC) published a report that suggests that living standards in the UK, measured over a five-year period, fell for the first time in over half a century. The union blames the austerity program pursued by the UK government over the past several years.
