(France 2)
After 14 years in power, the Conservatives were forced out after the general elections on Thursday, July 4. The new British Prime Minister is the Labour Party’s Keir Starmer.
In the United Kingdom, the Labour Party won the general election by a large margin. Its leader, Keir Starmer, becomes the new Prime Minister, after 14 years of Conservative government.I don’t promise it will be easy, it’s not enough to press a button to change a country.” assured the new Prime Minister. The press speaks of a Labour tidal wave.
Nearly two-thirds of centre-left MPs were elected, an overwhelming majority. It is also an unprecedented sanction for the Conservative Party, whose reign has been marked by crises, scandals and inflation. “It seemed like the conservatives felt invincible”describes a woman.
Rishi Sunak, the outgoing Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, has apologized to the country. Another notable fact: the far right enters the British Parliament for the first time with four MPs, led by former Brexiteer Nigel Farage.
