... By default.
... They won by default. lol.
... less votes than the Corbyn Defeat.
35% of a 60% turnout means that 1 in 5 people voted for Starmer, he doesn't seem to be very popular.
Indeed, also did my comment get deleted lol? (it did)

change is what?from sunak to him,he can't change the sanctions britain imposed on themselves,can't join brics,can't overturn the nuclear threaths,can't join the free world trading platform
Congratulations Keir, but I just want to mention that Keir got 9 million votes. Corbyn got 10 million in 2019. Labour didn't do well in this election, the Tories did poorly
33.7% of the vote - the lowest for a winning party EVER.

This will be Blair's fourth term in office.
Thatcher's 12th.
😅😅
EH, arguably the biggest problem with Blair was the Iraq war stuff, and Starmer is an ex-Chief Prosecutor. I get the feeling considering his background (and Britain's much weaker position in the world) that he isn't gonna start any illegal wars. So they're that at least.
TRUTH
@@calumbishop7082 he'll do as he's told
Congratulations to Sir Keir Starmer, His acceptance speech was inspirational. I just loved the part in which he thanked the 20% of votes that voted for a labour government and stated he will treat the 80% that didn't want a labour government by abstaining or voting for other parties with the exact same contempt. Wonderful democracy that's only available in Great Britain.

This is an insanely useless opinion; it takes nobody anywhere besides maybe daydreaming apocalypse to make yourself feel smart, separate, and safe.

@@claudetteearle3052 We shall see. Reform came second over the Tories in over 168 seats this election, most of which Reform's lead was double the Tories... All of this from a party with very little funding compared to their opponents & with a bare bones structure. Just watch Reform grow over the next couple years. The EU oligarchs laughed at Nigel, when he campaigned for the UK to leave the EU. Weren't laughing when one of their largest contributors, a NATO security council member and nuclear power left their wannabie empire were they. Same thing is going to happen here. The UK needs a genuine right wing Party & Reform is it. The Tories are left wing globalists wearing a conservative skin suit.,

Labours vote didn't move. The Tories collapsed, with Lib Dems and Reform picking up.
Interestingly, Labour increased votes in areas hostile to Starmer which suggests loyalty to the party not the leader
Labour secured a bigger spread of votes, implying a wider appeal across the electorate, while corbyn mobilised more people in safer areas.
This is just not true though
The SNP also collapsed
You wait...the next budget will start like this...we didn't think the economy was so bad therefore we have to put up taxes etc etc etc...mark my words
Stem the flow ... KierTaxPax
Well that’s exactly what people have been complaining about. Not enough taxes I just hope they tax the correct people rather than people that need the help with tax money
@Fake_Disciple increasing taxes always ends up hurting the people more that it's supposed to help.

Yes, the Tories just can't understand that we stopped carrying armour tax cuts.

@@susanrita2325 And what do you get if you add Labour, LD, Green, SNP and left leaning independents votes together?
How can you just assume everyone that voted reform is right wing? Its pretty obvious they took some votes off Labour as well. Lib Dems also took a tonne of votes off of both parties. Not everything is black and white, left or right. Especially when we are dealing millions of votes, many of which are swing voters with no political faith.

Forty million adults in the UK. Nine million voted Labour,
and it's a landslide win of unprecedented, near biblical proportions?
A) Labour voting turnout yesterday : nine million people.
B) Jeremy Corbyn turnout 2017 : twelve million, eight hundred thousand.
Yes because 411 is a pretty tonking commons majority.
Buddy if you don't understand the basics of our electoral system, just do a quick google; that's fine.
But if you do though, how about you make a point about PR or something? be actually useful?
@@austinthesan-antonian3932 Seventy-seven percents of voters didn't vote for Labour. The current system guarantees the political monopoly in charge...remains in charge. They can never lose power - it's permanent. Not unlike a prison.
Can't blame the Tories now, kids.
For the next 5 years that is all you will hear.
pretty sure that the present and future is formed from the past, it'll take more than one term in office to sort the mess the conservatives are leaving behind.
mind you I really don't think that the conservatives wanted to win this election, they would rather have someone else deal with all their mess. but it is still their mess. oh but they will blame Labour for their mess make no mistakes. but you can only blame Labour for the things they do, not what the conservatives did.
Yes we can and will. The Tories have decimated this country and you are crazy if you don't see that.

@@cyberchic11- could have been worse, Labour in government during Covid and the start of the war in Ukraine. Nothing in the coffers as they wouldn’t have had the balls to commit to austerity, so less money available for furlough.
Hoping that Kier will be ok now that the dramas are over.
Labour won because people didn't want the Tories not because they want Labour - and certainly not Starmer
I didn’t vote for Starmer, but he’s the most electable leader since Blair. Distance from unions is key.
We have more than two options in our country; we're multi-party; this isn't America.
If people were throwing both parties in the bin en masse, we'd see results like the 5 independent victories in England EVERYWHERE.
This is baby's first 2024 general election take and it not only falls apart under very little pressure but also does the terrible and basically useless job of suggesting a depressive & lost mindset to the new government instead of a very careful, mature, and nuanced one.
Bye Rishi I know you couldn’t wait to get back to California
Congratulations.. you lose
At least we have someone we voted for what ever happens 🇬🇧
Anyone know the definition of a woman? Keir might know....Oh, wait!!
That smile will vanish very quickly from his face once he realises that all the failings of the country that he's been abusing the tories for are now his responsibility, and the eyes of the UK will be on him.
I'd estimate six to twelve months before it all turns to carp, and all election inducements like unrestricted imigration, calling men women, ignoring antisemitism etc, will not help him one bit.
What was a failing of the tories will be a much bigger problem for him
It’s hard to imagine the Uk becoming even more lawless and even more dangerous. But we all will see it over the next year.
Let’s be honest, after the result announced it’s not that labour did great but tories performed poorly. Plenty of labour’s seat win with less than 5k votes. Let see how labour performs and we will have a more exciting result next ge
Another guy working for the WEF. Says enough.
The UK isn't a WEF member.
@@FrostekFerenczyThe WEF is individuals not countries
Kid grow up.
When you look at the stats, they didn't win by that much.
412 out of 650 is a pretty resounding win. oh and more than likely if Reform didn't run we would be looking at another 5 years of a conservative government.
@@johng.1703The trouble is that the conservatives were not conservatives so had to be challenged.
Nobody ever wins by “that much” when you look at the stats. Conservative landslides have also always come with a minority of the actual votes cast.
@@cementao We are talking about votes, not seats.

Perhaps watch mainstream media instead of internet theorists. You’ll need to look up OFCOM to understand exactly why.

- Despite these elections being hailed as a "landslide" victory

@@leftmono1016 So what do you expect us to do, realistically?
Nothing to do with the fact non British citizens being given a vote then? It's a joke, I've never seen a less qualified cabinet, identify politics and diversity hires.
I sometimes think anyone wanting to be PM should be locked up in the interest of public safety. £40 billion of tax receipts lost since Brexshit. Public services a total shambles. Budget deficit unsustainable. Taxes must rise.
Starmer proceeds to use the loo in No.10, lifts lid, finds a log in in the bowl with a note *Welcome Gift, Love Rishi*
The blind faith people still have in government is blinding.
Kin disaster😮😢
If Labour share of the vote did increase then all we can say is the torys lost due to Reform
The tories lost because they didn't keep a single promise and decided to act like Labour instead. But, I get your point
The Tories lost because they were dogshit and their campaign was so bad it almost seemed intentional.

One has to keep in mind that neither Sunak nor Truss were elected by the people. I know that parliamentary processes say that on those cases, the members of the Party elect their leader and hence the Prime Minister. So the people itself did not had a word on this until now, several years later. This is the reason of their massive response.
Buyers remorse will be swift me thinks

I disagree. I dislike Smarmer, as I call him, but he is beige and right now beige is what the UK needs. If he can hold the centre ground, neither side can complain too much and he'll hold onto power. Time will tell!
@@HitchcockTheSnail
Nothing will change ..
@@anjillo Never have more untruthful words been spoken. Change is inevitable my dear fellow. Whether or not it's the change you seek is your prerogative and yours alone. Life will change under Smarmey-Smarmer. Just not necessarily for the better for some or indeed the majority of us but, tbh, neither the Tories nor Reform would bring about much positive change due to the fact they serve themselves first-&-foremost. In his early years when Blair took office, he brought about significant change reducing waiting time from years under 17 years of previous Tory rule to weeks. That was a monumental change that changed lives and saved lives due to people receiving treatment sooner. Blair, in his early years, was more English-Socialist (don't confuse it with the Eastern variety) whereas Smarmer is not. He's v centrist hence the 'beige' comment. He'll change things. He'll bring in digital ID (later years Blair initiative) which the EU already has and which has done nothing to deter the movement of people. He'll serve the system, (as they all do) to increase his personal wealth (which they all do) and he'll bring about soft change. He is not radical. But maybe that's what is needed and I'm no Smarmer fan, in fact I'm the opposite. I'm a Labout voter who did not vote Labour this time. Don't forget, even though the papers are desperately telling you Labour's win was historic, it was not. Smarmer brought in 9 million votes for Labour. In 2019 Corbyn brought in 10 million when he lost to Johnson. Labour's gains this year were in areas hostile to Smarmer indicating loyalty to the party not the leader. Smarmer did not win big, Reform split the vote. Had Reform's votes stayed with the Tories, the Tories would have won. We're now entering 4 years of being run by a man the vast majority have no confidence in. Change is on its way, whether we like it or not.
Step 1: Answer no questions.
Step 2: a massive help from the Conservatives being dogshit.
Step 3: Get less votes than Corbyn
Step 4: Act like you’re incredible and and it’s a landslide in spite of the worst turnout in 20 years.
Worse than ever
Awesome!
Is the honeymoon period over yet or does it end next week. You’re going to get what you voted for.
