    Antara Haldar

    The central question in the United Kingdom's general election on July 4 is not whether Prime Minister Rishi Sunak should be allowed to pursue his immigration agenda. Instead, British voters must confront their country's post-imperial identity crisis, which has been exacerbated under Conservative rule.
