An exit poll in the United Kingdom's general election suggests it will be a landslide victory for the opposition Labour Party after nearly a decade and a half of Conservative rule.

The poll, released moments after polls closed on Thursday, indicated that Labour leader Keir Starmer will be the country’s next prime minister.

"Today, Britain’s future is on the ballot," Starmer wrote in an X post prior to the election.

If Starmer wins the general election, it will be the Labour Party's first win since 2005.

Labour pledged to get the UK's sluggish economy growing, invest in infrastructure and make Britain a "clean energy superpower."

That'll be a shame.

That'll be a shame.

At least Reform won 13 seats. They've got their foot in the door..

1st world problem solver that guy is.  What a putz. 

[LMAO]

From the article….

IOWs, UK’s sluggish economy will remain sluggish

Thirteen seats is nearly twice what they were expected to win. Definitely a good night for Reform.

UK election: What's happened and what comes next?

Sir Keir Starmer is the UK's new prime minister, after his Labour Party swept to power in a landslide general election victory.

The Conservative Party suffered a huge collapse after a tumultuous 14 years in power, which saw five different prime ministers run the country.

Rishi Sunak - the outgoing PM - accepted responsibility for the result and apologised to defeated colleagues during a brief statement outside a rainy 10 Downing Street. He said he would resign as party leader in the coming weeks.

In his first speech as prime minister after greeting dozens of jubilant Labour supporters who had lined Downing Street, Sir Keir vowed to kick start a period of "national renewal" and to put "country first, party second".

Although the Tories learned the hard way that "liberal lite" gets you no where, the British voters are about to get it good and hard from Starmer and his Bolshevik minions.

The Labour majority might be a mile wide, but it’s quite shallow.

Labour: 34% of the vote. 64% of seats.
Reform UK: 14% of the vote. 1% of seats.

The UK’s new prime minister, Keir Starmer, is someone Obama has been mentoring for months. The Brits have voted for their own destruction.

Rishi Sunak Resigns, Announces He Will Quit as Tory Leader

The defeated leader of the Conservative Party, which suffered its worst election result in well over a century, has said he is stepping down.

Good catch Fred.  Their version of "The Squad" now has a bigger foothold than our communist version.

And the fact they garnered 14% of the total vote should be alarming.

Over/Under of the U.K. rejoining the E.U.?

My guess 2032.

British Conservatives Have Worst Election in 190 Years; Labor's Keir Starmer Is the New Prime Minister

British Conservatives Have Worst Election in 190 Years; Labor's Keir Starmer Is the New Prime Minister
streiff
2–3 minutes

Britain's Labor Party won a historic landslide victory Thursday, capturing 412 of 650 seats in Parliament. This election victory marks Labor's return to power for the first time in fourteen years. The Conservative Party made its worst showing in its 190-year history, losing 250 seats. It will control 121 seats in the new Parliament.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak offered his resignation to King Charles II early Friday morning, which was immediately accepted. Sir Keir Starmer, a lawyer with extensive experience as a prosecutor, will be the new prime minister. He entered politics in 2015 and became Labor leader in 2020. He ran on a platform of:

        Healthcare: Cut NHS waiting lists by providing 40,000 more appointments each week, funded by tackling tax avoidance and closing tax ‘loopholes’
        Immigration: Launch a ‘border security command’ to stop people-smuggling gangs from arranging small boat crossings.
        Housing: Build 1.5m new homes by reforming planning laws and introduce a scheme to give first-time buyers "first dibs" in new housing developments
        Education: Recruit 6,500 teachers, paid for by ending tax breaks for private schools.

The rout of the Conservatives followed Sunak calling a snap election in May, even though his party was being trounced in polling.

I thought he was Charles III.  Do beheaded kings get skipped?

I thought he was Charles III.  Do beheaded kings get skipped?   

According to the sources I just googled, the current king is Charles III, not Charles II.  Charles II died in 1685.

Conservatives in the UK have run that country into the ground. Labour will be worse.

The U.K. is in  steep decline.  The fact most of nobility can't even keep their estates is proof the old money of the English empire is about to fully evaporate. This is the real prize of the Muzzie invasion.  And sad to me that is the land of my ancestors.

What British Conservatives?

[catfish1957]

What British Conservatives?

Same here.  Reagan and Thatcher were a lifetime ago.

Is there even one member of the GOP even talking about balanced budgets or deficit reduction in earnest.

[Fishrrman]

The formerly "great" Britain may be entering its final dive downward.

Will the laborites stand up to the muslims?

Britanistan, here we come!
