  • The new British prime minister comes to power after his centre-left Labour party won a landslide victory, bringing 14 years of Conservative rule to an end and paving the way for a major political reset. Keir Starmer has already announced most of his new cabinet positions.

    I wish this guy luck. The economy in the UK (as well as others) is struggling and the conservatives had been at the helm for 14 years. It’s time to get on it.

    I admire UK election process that no fuss about deception and no scremish at all. As soon as the party won, the PM acknowledged; he lost.

    When Blair won in '97 we had a two party system with a tiny portion of Liberal Democrats in the mix. With this election we had what was essentially a five way battle of parties. You start with a hypothetical baseline for each party's vote share of 20%. The previous highs of mid 40% vote share that has historically been seen cannot be repeated in any possible scenario where there are more ways to divide the total.
    I find it incredible that journalists, who one can assume had a good education, have exhibited such a paucity of critical thinking skills over this salient fact.

    • @peabase
      @peabase Před 20 dny

      Rest assured, you still have a de facto duocracy instead of a true multi-party democracy. Either Labour or the Conservatives have dominated each and every cabinet for the last hundred years or so. Between 2017 and 2019, you had your tiny portion of DUP, allowing Theresa May to form a minority government. Now there's yet again a one-party "majority" cabinet after Labour secured 34% of the popular vote, nearly a 10% drop from Boris Johnson's earlier score. I wonder if The Economist is going to downgrade you in their Democracy Index. FPTP is so over.
