Keir Starmer

Not sure the PM needs to be able to do a foxtrot, but time will tell.

The leader of our Govt would ideally have an ounce of charisma.. Not a necessity but this guy is going to be negotiating deals on our behalf.. he’ll bore people to sleep

He’s not my PM (There wasn’t a decent one available) but I hope he delivers .. Time will tell
 
I can't be the only person who voted Labour with reluctance. Christian Wakeford was not an appealing candidate, but I wanted rid of the Tories.

Now it is up to Keir Starmer to prove the doubters wrong by doing a bloody good job. I will make allowances for the shitty state this country is in, but I want to see competence, honesty and decency, with respect for the rule of law. It's not asking much.

What I do not expect is everything to be sorted out by next Friday.

Boring is the best thing we can have in politics, having tried X Factor style politics for 8 years.

He is your PM, if you live in the U.K.

If you clump all the parties together on either side yea, but I don’t think you can. Labour and Lib Dem voters can be very different depending on the area.

I think it’s pretty clear there isn’t an enthusiasm for labour. Corbyn got more votes in previous elections. As you say it was a vote stop the tories.

Labour and the conservatives have now won large majorities where vast swathes of the public aren’t voting for them.

I guess what I’m saying is yes the desire to get rid of the Tories was absolutely the strongest factor for how people voted, but that doesn’t mean people aren’t enthusiastic about Labour because… and here’s something that I really haven’t seen people say… it’s possible for both of these things to be true. Yet everybody is treating them as mutually exclusive.

Lots of people who voted Lib Dem will be very happy that Labour are in power. Of this I have zero doubt.

Ive got several work colleagues who fit this criteria.

Streeting said on the BBC last night that Starmer could be literally driving to the Palace in the car and people would still say "it's been a tough night for Labour".

He's just won the biggest majority in a generation, wiping out the opposition in a historic win. It's not "very poor", it's a complete landslide with a huge mandate

Massive win, a 1/3 of the 60% who actually could be bothered to participate.

Yes they all ran to Starmer, it wasn't because the Tories were utterly dogshit at all. Fuck me Labour won, their supporters should just be happy. No need for the spin especially as its bollocks.

Who won the popular vote? A breakdown of the main parties

The popular vote does not mirror the number of seats each party gained - and shows how different the make-up of parliament could be if the UK did not have a first past the post electoral system.
