Keir Starmer labours anger votes for landslide win in UK

Labour on course to decimate Conservatives as Keir Starmer bags change votes

By Manish Anand

New Delhi, July 5: The next prime minister of the UK, Keir Starmer, has more faith in Davos than the bureaucracy of the Westminister. Starmer is all set to take reins of the UK with a historic mandate.

The Labour Party of the UK has won 51 seats against three of the Conservatives as per the latest poll outcome details. Starmer is set for the biggest wins for the Labour as per the predictions of the pollsters.

The incumbent UK Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, will resign today after a certain resounding visit in the national elections. With Theresa May leaving the office of the prime minister on July 24, Sunak was her third successor.

Starmer gave a powerful slogan to the election campaign of the Labour. “I have changed the Labour Party. If you put your trust in me, I will change the country,” Starmer posted on the social media platform X, formerly Twitter.

The people backed him up by showing trust in his promises to change the UK. Starmer is promising to ride reform, and embrace the forces of the economy seen at the World Economic Front, Davos.

Boris Johnson and Liz Truss held the office of the prime minister for short terms. The Conservatives in the UK has been in power for the past 14 years.

The AFP reported that the people cheered after the exit polls were projected onto BBC headquarters, showing landslide for the in the UK election. The Exit Polls have predicted that the Labour will win a total of 410 seats.

The Conservatives will win just 131 seats, predicted the Exit Polls. Sunak-led Conservatives could face worst defeat in a century. The early result tally showed that the Exit Polls will be vindicated.

The CNBC reported that the Conservatives had faced the last worst defeat in 1832 when the party had won a total of 175 seats. The tally now is predicted to go down to as low as just 131 seats.

The political commentators in London summed up the anger of the people by listing the issues of rising cost of living (high house rentals, inflation, and increased energy charges), and unemployment.

The Conservatives in the aftermath of BREXIT had been battling a sagging economy and bloating of unskilled immigrants. The last three prime ministers of the UK pursued the idea of sending the illegal immigrants to Rwanda, inviting a meme fest in the elections.

The Russia-Ukraine War is credited for pulling the carpet of comforts of the Europeans. High energy costs after the disruptions in the Russian supply of oil and gas unleashed a wave of anti-incumbency against incumbents in the UK, France, Germany, and elsewhere.
