| 2024-07-05 | |
| [NYPOST] Britannia’s left-wing Labour Party was poised Thursday for a landslide victory over the ruling Conservative Party after 14 years out of power. According to an exit poll commissioned by all three major UK broadcasters and released as soon as the polls closed at 10 p.m., Labour was set to win 410 seats in the 650-member House of Commons, a majority of 170. The result means that Keir Starmer,
When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much... lawyer who has led Labour since early 2020, will be the next prime minister after guiding the party to its first general election victory since 2005.

| #10 Labour gained over 200 seats but their vote share increased by less than two percentage points to 34%. The British system. U.S."popular vote", move aside. |

| #9 The idiots leading the Tories screwed the Brits, and have been doing so since they reluctantly backed Brexit, dragged to it by their voters. When it got out that despite promising to cut illegal immigration, the current Tory leadership deliberately increased it, they were toast. The only question is whether Britain will survive the punishment. |

| #8 Brer Not just Reform taking votes from Conservative. Also a lot of people not voting. About 60% voting compared to about 67% in 2019. Although not known to a high degree it is probable a lot of them, maybe a majority, were voters who favored the Conservatives in the previous election. |

| #3 Everything that is plaguing the UK will get worst. A pro-immigration labor party will cannibalize itself in short order. |
