Not as hyped as when Tony Blair won but you see what’s gonna be his reputation 10 years from now.
Tony Blair the architect of our destruction? The man who ramped up the colonisation and racism to whites?
Let’s name a British PM that hasn’t left with a tarnished reputation. There’s not one in my lifetime.
Tony Blair is a war criminal
@@biddyboy1570tony blair has great internal policies, just bad international ones
just what it is now a self hating hide your jewish wife traitor type, the islamapologist is strong in this flopper. the sale of rubber boats in france just jumped 500%
It’s okay to change one’s policies as long as the change is a result of re-assessing a situation and taking into account changing dynamics that make those changes necessary. Changing it however just to get votes is evil. Not sure where Starmer stands. Give him time. As long as he gets the job done and improves the UK’s current situation, it doesn’t matter whether he’s a boring person. Being charismatic might be a benefit, but it’s not what he’s being elected for.
Like ALL Labour & Conservative governments in the last 70+ years, he will change absolutely NOTHING of substance which will impact positively the quality of life for the working people of the United Kingdom. Also like many opposition parties of before he has pontificated about electoral talking points for the sole purpose of vote garnering. He has ZERO intention of implementing any systemic change at all. 😡
From what I can tell with this video, Starmer seems to be following a new branch of the Left called “popularism” which is all about pushing the policies that might sound boring, non ideological, and nonradical but are what the average person wants from their leaders based on polling data (yeah, I know, I don’t like that this basic and natural democratic thought process needed a name and lobbyists for it either, I don’t need or want to hear it from y’all).
He’s literally Tony Blair 2.0 and you’re braindead for not seeing it. Everything he says is a lie
How is changing your policies to be more popular evil? Being pragmatic and knowing when to tweak your policies to appeal to voters is how actual positive change is achieved, far preferable to stubbornly maintaining ideological purity with no chance of holding power.
@@wopofey If you don’t like a party’s policy, vote for one that aligns with your ideology. A party’s policy shouldn’t change that often and when they do change, it should never be to appeal to more voters. That’s just wishy washy politics of an unstable party. Most parties are created around a core set of stable beliefs. A party that believes in rasing taxes may have no other choice but to lower taxes when a sudden unexpected event happens like a pandemic that hits an economy hard. But once the storm has passed, and things get better, then the party should revert to its normal policies.
Finally the end of Tory rule
Isn’t Starmer a red Tory tho?
@@aclark903not a blue Tory.
@@dundermifflinity Well he kicked the Hindus out of number 10 and for this at least I’m grateful.
@@aclark903 agreed
@aclark903 that’s not gonna help anything the boats will still be flying in with more gangs 😂
Maybe a bit of “boring” is exactly what we need. The last few years have been a joke 🤣.
You might regret that within a month or two . Unless you are illegal or man who wants to be a lady 😂
boring politicians are the best politicians
Thanks to China and Russia 😉
@@insertacoin738 not really
@@cactiupyourass8203 Yes really. They’re here to do a job not be clowns.
Now that you bring it up, Starmer does look a bit like the spitting image of Mark Darcy. LOL
Reminds me of Hannah Gadsby
I don’t think this prime minister will stand longer then 10 days
Dan Pena will emerge as Britain’s master.
Remember Max Headroom?
I’ve lost count of how many Prime Ministers the British devour.
Me, an italian: “Pathetic”
It’s almost the size of a medium North American fast food meal
It’s a ministerial meat grinder.
Eating Prime Ministers is actually a Dutch habit (seriously, you can Google it)
@@andreaberetta5596you’ve literally has the same prime minister for the past 3 years
He was clever enough to learnt the same lesson Tony Blair did, which is that most people in England are politically middle-of-the-road and if you want to win an election, tap into that. Now he has power it’ll be interesting to see if he stays middle of the road. Also, the Tories lost this election a long time ago, all Keir had to do was look relatively normal and he was going to win LOL
This is what a lot of people don’t give him credit for. It’s all great and moral to be extremely left wing but if you don’t win that doesn’t mean anything tangible for anyone.
@@gerardcurtis3911”extremely” left is rarely an exemplar of moral…….. if history is any judge. In all things moderation. My own fatuousness aside, I agree with your point completely.
Bro what world r u in. Corbyn wud have won this election given the state of uk under tories but the difference between him and starmer is hes a decent human being who wud have actually done things
Starmer will do nothing and its declinorama from now on
He can’t once the Energy Crisis hits your going to have do some very radicals things. You assume that you can be a moderate in desperate times, you cannot. You need solution to pressing problems.
How did the Tories lose a long time ago? Please elaborate.
Angela Merkel was always boring. That’s why we voted her into office 4 times.
What do you want on your government? Someone intelligent + boring who does the job or Boris Johnson?
And look what Merkel did for german GDP … it stagnated. Germany lost market share.
@@realitykicksin8755: Depends on the point of view. She did a lot right actually. The whole financial crisis from 2008 and onwards were basically not existent in Germany thx to her policies and decisions.
@@realitykicksin8755 The worst thing she did is on Immigrant polices. All others I rate 10/10
@@pingukuteproRussian gas probably wasn’t the right move either
Dan Pena will emerge as Britain’s master.
Keir Starmer might seem like a tedious crooked leader but at least he could bring about drastic changes to somehow revitalize Britain both economically and politically.
Dan Pena will emerge as Britain’s master.
As long as he gets along with Larry the cat, he will be okay
@MZMA85 how old is larry anyway?
@@easierthanlife1826 14, I believe.
The real power behind the state.
Dan Pena will emerge as Britain’s master.
It’s a miracle Larry survived the Truss era, shame the Queen didn’t
This looks very familiar to Macron in France, first joined the socialist, then betrayed them to go more centrist, then gets elected, etc. I hope for the UK that the end of the story wont be the same…
Macron’s centrist is great but being a centrist means you have to please everyone. Hes simply not able to do that so he failed. Overall I love Macron policies ( he should be harder on immigant of course )
Similar to Australia’s Labor PM Anthony Albanese; working class activist turned centrist
@@pingukutepro Not a fan of all his policies but definitely better than both far right and far left options. His problem is that people started hating him so much, they’re ready to burn the whole country if they burn him in the process. Suicidal thoughts.
@@pingukuteproEveryone is France is seen as French, regardless of their ethnicity. Instead of spending money stopping immigration, you should treat them as equal citizens, if crime if ur concern, then just get more police.
pretty clear he was centrist from the get go
think we can agree he is far better to run the country than some ex hedge fund manager multi millionaire
@@eelm2079 Boris better than all of them
@@Agtsmirnofflol
@@AgtsmirnoffJeremy Corbyn would’ve been the best
He couldn’t run a bath…
@@user-qb1pn8uj7uclearly not if he had such a hard time convincing anyone to vote for him…
He’s a decent bloke. Lets hope that he can be the effective leader he needs to be. Remember that our greatest PM of modern times, the one who changed Britain profoundly was Clement Atlee. He was also a uncharismatic wooden performer in public. You will be judged by your actions not your words.
Atlee’s part of the reason why it’s so hard to build housing and civil infrastructure now, but Thatcher was also partly responsible.
A decent bloke who kept quiet when Jimmy Savile was running riot at the BBC…
Dan Pena will emerge as Britain’s master.
hes another elite fanboy
nothing more
_”Remember that our greatest PM of modern times, the one who changed Britain profoundly was Clement Atlee”_
Things can stop getting worse is the most British thing I’ve ever heard
and then things start to get even worse.
@@farhanrejwankeep crying x
@@Kieranu why should i cry? i don’t even live there lol.
i’m a bangladeshi. yes, the country that he insulted just a few days ago. honestly, at this point we couldn’t even care any less if he claims he ever “visited bangladesh and loved it” or not, after he said what he said. let alone we care any about what happens to the “Great Britain”.
uh, Let’s hope for a brighter better Communist France and the UK – and let the people enjoy the abundance and fruitfulness of great loving Communist regimes! 😍😍🥰🥰
@@valorwarrior7628 absolutely, that’s certainly the right future path for Britain, I mean f me at every step they think “things can stop getting worse”, and yet they get worse, might as well check communism off the bucket list.
Boring is what the UK needs right now
Dan Pena will emerge as Britain’s master.
Your easily fooled mate!!
Populism is what it needs and it will finally get it in 5-10 years.
Yet hear he ia 5 days in office, letting out 40% of criminals and welcoming hundreds of rhousands illegals…so much for boring
Congratulations the British people. They showed the politicians who is the boss. I hope we experience the same in Turkey.
I think this guy will be one of those politicians that will stay in power for a long time. Won’t be loved by anyone, but probably will not be hated.
he has a few issues
well no we definitely hate him. the ones against baby genocide anyway. if you don’t hate him then you probably should think it over twice.
I, for one, welcome the return of “boring” politicians as a standard for leadership.
The country could use stability of the circus & chaos of the 14 years.
believe me …….he has been put in power to over see the biggest turmoil ever……….all planned
Hear hear
@@nineteen8486 Zzzzzzz…
People keep saying it like that was an issue any one had. No one did. The problem was that he a vile human being with no decency or humanity.
Give him a chance, wait and watch.
Why have I lived through 8 prime ministers and I’m not even 20 yet. 😭😭
imagine living all 20 years with one person’s presidency
It also could be the other way around, we’ve had prime minister for more than 10 years, 11 years, 15, 18 and 20 years
@@RubinFortune well two would be better
I think mostly because of the Tory Brexit and then COVID chaos from 2016 until now.
