As voting stations close in the U.K. tonight, exit polls indicate a decisive victory for Britain’s center-left Labour Party. Kier Starmer, the party leader, will be prime minister, replacing Rishi Sunak.
As much of the western world is fighting to fend off the rise of the far right, it is nice to see the opposite happening in the UK.
For 14 years the Tories dominated British politics. With this election, Labour has finally succeeded them. Hopefully it will stick this time.
The UK will have another three prime ministers this year if the past is any indication.
Ready the lettuce!
If it’s a majority like the exit polls are predicting it should be a bit more stable.
So maybe a cabbage.
Too late, she lost her seat!
Being so easily rid of Starmer’s milquetoast idea of leftism does appeal, but I expect we’ll have to grin and bear him a while longer.
I’m glad Australia has passed on that reputation to the poms
