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 honestly can’t place the accents of the “Americans” on this channel. it’s distinctly like a robot in England pretending to be a human in Amercia
I am so glad I emigrated after Brexit …. The UK is a basket case …..
I have great respect for DW. You don’t miss main international news. Thank you!
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.
I’m not British, but this guy is no Tony Blair..
Which is what the video basically said.
@@guydreamr the irony
Is that good or bad?
Tories under Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss, and Sunka turn the UK in one poorer nations. Poland is now threaten to surpasses it in per capital house holds.
The Tories totally dropped the ball. They should cut a a sweetheart deal with America and Trump allowing British companies access into a $11 trillion dollar market instead all Prime Minister Boris Johnson did was drink and party from behind the scene what total waste and disappointment.
First you send Farage to Bruxelles. Now you send him to your own parliament. Well that’s well deserved. Enjoy 😉
It took Brexit to get Farage first-past-the-post. That’s a steep price for getting a narcissistic one-trick pony into the House of Commons.
Actually, the conservative’s loss was in fact labour and Lib Dems’ gain, if you actually look at the seats that switched.
Re: low turn out
Might have something to do with everyone being able to see the polls for the last two years. Everyone knew Labour would walk off with this election, so a lot of people probably just didn’t bother voting.
That’s on them.
the answer to the question is entirely in the hands of the corporate aristocrats
who own Britain (and every other country you care to name) and the media they control.
take my word, that lot won’t allow anything too radical to happen.
their investments/wealth would suffer.
Bingo.
Yup..welcome to the true reality.
Answer: no. Because the past 14 years have proven that there are too many voters with outlandish expectations.
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.
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.
But how did Larry the cat respond?
Good question
With complete indifference as usual.
Why you keep quoting Blair ? The man is a war criminal and has earned our eternal contempt….
Indeed. But like all “elites” he walked away scott free. I you or I were responsible for as many deaths as him we would be in prison for a hundred lifetimes.
Blaire is set to be head of the WEF so get used to the brown nosing etc
Talking about “New Labour” means, no more “Labour” at all. That’s what Blairism was about to my view.
@@peterfyal4998 *Blair may not know about WMDs, but he knows better than to head a silly conspiracy theory of yours.
@@peabase how is it a conspiracy theory?
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.
UK economy has been struggling since 2008, it’s gonna take more than one parliamentary election to get that back on track
@@jaketaylor3901 Prior to the fateful Brexit referendum, the UK was the fastest growing EU economy. Then it all went pear-shaped.
Good luck cleaning up that mess.
No, Sir Keir Starmer knows he not going get much of honeymoon. So there already grinding away in Number 10 Downing Street.
How come Rishi didn’t claim the election was rigged???
Hard to claim that in a landslide. Only Ferage/Trump does that.
@@jakebe4915 he should have in some states biden had over 20,000 votes over his opponent and yet we know the outcome. lol hahahahahahah
@@jakebe4915it wasn’t a landslide when you consider how many seats reform picked up
DW News: Can the UK’s new prime minister restore the trust in British politics?
Me: When was the last time you trust a politician?
He will make lot of noises,do nothing. Not very smart
“Country first, party second” – it is worth to teach Kaczynski (polish socialist-postcommunist party leader) this phrase. He is 75, but he might still learn.
I thought you were talking about Ted Kaczynski, the unabomber.
THE GAP IS HUGE…
And there is no longer a place for England in the EU
