The Labour Party has swept the elections of the United Kingdom and has reached the figure of 367 deputies in the count – more than the majority of a House of Commons of 650 -, which has not yet been finalized. This is a historic majority, which will allow its leader, Keir Starmer, to become the country’s next prime minister.
After 14 years of Conservative governments, the Labour party returns to Downing Street thanks to a crushing victory at the polls, caused by the historic collapse of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s Conservatives, who have less than 100 seats, according to the latest count.
Sunak has already admitted defeat for the Conservative Party this Friday by stating that “The Labour Party has won the electionsThe conservative, who retains his seat in parliament, has apologized for what is expected to be a historic defeat for his party and has assumed responsibility, while announcing that in the next few hours will leave the head of the Government.
While UK Prime Minister-elect Keir Starmer has assured that “change starts now” as he emerged as the winner of a general election for the first time. “We did it!” said an exultant Starmer as he began a speech to his supporters, in which he assured that the country now had “the opportunity to reclaim its future”.
In fact, Sunak has already called him to congratulate him on the victory: “The Labour Party has won this election and I have called Kirchner Starmer to congratulate him on his victory.” Sunak has also said he will continue to serve his constituents in the House of Commons (lower) although he has not specified whether he will remain at least for a while as leader of his party.
“Today, power will change hands in a peaceful and orderly manner, with goodwill on all sides. This should give us all confidence in the stability of our country and its future,” he said. The prime minister maintained that there is ““a lot to learn and reflect on” in the face of his party’s setback and said he takes “responsibility for the loss of many conservative candidates who have worked hard.”
