"A historic shift to the left" is going from right of centre to slightly left of centre...
This is how you get rid of corrupt repubicans/conservatives
Preserving tradition and upholding values is bad? Not all conservatives are terrible you know
#VoteHarder! lolol
I'm English and I have no doubt this country will be worse with this new government, just as American is a lot worse under the Democrats, or is America better now than 5 years ago??
Americans really seem to misunderstand how the constitution works. It's not 'symbolic' or 'ceremonial', Starmer was not Prime Minister until the King made him so. All the election did was ensure that his party has a majority in Parliament and thus can command the confidence of the House. You might as well say the president's swearing-in is just 'symbolic'.
Point taken but the trouble is if you don't add a word like that some people assume Charles exercises some personal choice over who to appoint, like he was interviewing Starmer for a job and decided to go with him, rather than it being a foregone conclusion who the PM would be because of the election result. I have come across people who are aware the UK is a monarchy and seem somehow surprised there are also elections, or are confused about whether the monarch personally governs as an executive head of state.
Just remember this... the king of the UK... has no powers and zero say in how the country's are run...
Thank goodness we have come to our senses! Welcome back labour
How is Starmer supposed to fix UK's economy?
@@Sunnythesunneversets resign ?
@@Sunnythesunneversets Stop all foreign aid, stop funding Ukraine, stop all immigration, illegal and legal , then perhaps UK can look after it's own.
by giving money to ukraine
He's going to sell Boris Johnson to the idiots who admire him.
It's simples.... raise taxes on everything which is what is going to happen
1:19 what’s going on with that guy on the right??
He is a joke candidate who was wearing some kind of baked bean balaclava
@@BobSmith-s7j lol ok I’d love to know more about that story.
@@David-ee6lk I don't know anything more except I see he got 211 votes and goes by the name Barmy Brunch. There are often these kind of people running against high-profile politicians either for publicity or just to make a joke. This is how you get the prime minister standing on a stage at 3am hearing his local result alongside a guy with a bin on his head, or whatever.
@@David-ee6lkif you have enough money in the uk, anyone can run for election 😂
@@David-ee6lkTo stand for election to parliament in the UK you need to submit nomination papers signed by ten local voters and pay a £500 deposit, which is returned to you if you get over 5% of the vote. So there are often joke candidates or publicity seekers standing against high profile politicians.
Not a major victory,because of our FPTP system, he is Prime Minister with only 34.8% majority, we need Proportional representation.
To be clear, Israel is a significant trading partner, and the relatively small element of military exports we send are paid for. How else are we helping them?
We have sent about £12.5 billion to Ukraine, in military equipment and direct economic assistance. We do it in the belief that Russia's invasion of Ukraine was an unprovoked act of aggression, and if the Ukranians are prepared to fight to defend their country then there should be international support for them to do so. If Russia is allowed to suceed, then the risk to other European countries, and of a much wider conflict, increases. The cost of the last major conflict in Europe was incalculably high. That's why we send aid to Ukraine.
There are have been a ton of avoidable mistakes that have brought about the current problems in the British economy. Supporting Ukraine isn't one of them, and not supporting Ukraine could lead somewhere far worse.
Wow first time majority government in parliament
Okay but what do they stand for? It appears the words Conservative and Left means something different to you guys, than us in the USA.
What do you mean first time majority government? Most periods in British political history at least in the last century or two have majority governments. There's just been a Conservative majority government. Labour last had a majority government between 1997 and 2010.
Not a majority, only 34.8% of the vote.
The UK changes Prime Ministers. The way people change their underwear .... LOL 🤣😆.. just my opinion
That’s not how it works mate. The change of leadership is within the parties. Not in a general election.
It's called holding politicians accountable. Which isn't done in places like the U.S. :)
But it hasn’t changed its party in 14 years.
Yes but this time it changed due to the people voting for change, rather than the ruling party having a meltdown!
A lot like house speakers, lol
A shift to the left. Um corbyn was left. Starmer is a centrist. Yes he’s quite left wing by American standards but is a centrist and neoliberal
How is WEF "techno-feudalism" centrist or neoliberal? Because that's what you're getting.
@@mrglasses8953 WEF is quite literally a centrist neoliberal forum. Techno-feudalism is Varoufakis's theory for the next stage of capitalism. Which of these do you not understand?
@@thastayapongsak4422 what are the stages of capitalism.
Btw America is in late stage
Starmer is probably to the right of Biden.
Let's grab pop corn and see how UK goes down!
Bills Are High people Are homeless everything's expensive our country is struggling lets help our own people Not Ukraine or israel we need to look after people in uk
Pity sunak didnt get the boot too
What do you mean? His party lost the election and he is no longer prime minister, he has got the boot.
Liz did though
@@joeasher2876 his seat
@@joeasher2876he won re-election to his seat. He’s still an MP.
London has fallen.
Hopefully Starmer will do a better job of
leading Britain than Johnson ever did!
Rishi sunak is a waste Man Am happy we got a New prime minister. Thank God 🙏
It's Prime Minister, not priminister
0% of the UK population voted for our last prime minister .
32 % of the public voted for this new one.
68% have novoice .
Ladies and gentlemen.........................the illusion of democracy.......from the mother of parliaments.
GB 🇬🇧 style 😂
OR AS WE SAY ......SAD INNIT ?
That is how our voting system works, and in every system there are losers. Labour has a large majority, but to say voters have no voice, just because the manifesto they voted for is not going to be implemented, is obviously untrue. A proportional voting system might be fairer, but when we had a referendum on it in the early 2010s, how did you vote? Did you vote? Certainly it's amusing to see how vocally Reform voters are now advocating for electoral reform, who were previously opposed to it. Now we'll have to see how effective the newly elected Reform MPs are as parliamentarians. When Farage was an MEP, he hardly did anything except take the salary.
@@Ozymandi_as
Yes I know very corrupt isn't it ? Who voted for Rishit ?
We need Proportional representation.
@@carolewynn9407
We need to get rid of WEF inserts and EU occupation.
I cannot believe we have a prime minister who does not know what a woman is and let jimmy savile go free.
Truth! 👍👏👏👏
What do you mean doesn't know what a woman is?
Tory bot
@@ajrein4226 insightful, enjoy our demise.
@@TheRealBillBob Did you read the parties ideologies?
Is it ok for Israel to cut off: food, water and electricity to the people of Gaza?
The UK's new PM who won in a landslide..."YES it is"
Ok
Didn't the previous PM believe the same thing? I don't remember them voicing outrage.
Isreal v Palestine is irrelevant
The leaders who showed the least concern for the people of Gaza were Hamas, who authorized the attacks on Israel on 7th October. Attacks so provocative they were bound to provoke a response. The military personnel of Hamas attacked Israeli civilians, and use their own civilians as humans shields. Which is okay because the policy of Hamas is Jihad, and any Muslim who dies in the Jihad goes straight to heaven. Their objective is the annihilation of Israel and the Isreali people, at all and any costs. They are not interested in a negotiated settlement. That could have happened a long time ago, but for Hamas. The price of continued conflict is paid by the people of Gaza.
Keir Starmer acknowledges the right of Israel to exist, and to defend itself against acts of aggression. In opposition he has called on the Israelis to show restraint in their response, he has called for a ceasefire. He has very little influence however, on a government he probably regards with disdain. But he won't have any influence with them if he doesn't show understanding for how traumatic 7th October was for Israel.
The situation in Gaza is awful, but people in the west are being manipulated by Hamas, who understand that we will feel more concern for their children than they do. So criticise Keir Starmer by all means, but what do you have to say about Hamas, the leaders who actually brought this situation into being, by murdering innocent thousands of innocent Israeli civilians? Don't they bear a greater responsibility for the safety and wellbeing of the people of Gaza? Or is Jihad the most important thing?
This is the PM of England, nothing to do with Middle East, it's worrying enough that we now have pro Gaza MPs.
