Tony Blair

It was a thrilling night. Not long after the polling stations closed and the first results were announced, it was clear that Labour was heading for victory. And not just by a slim margin - but by a landslide. Not since 1997, when Tony Blair was voted in, has there been such anticipation that things can now get better.

A centrist leader wins after a tired government runs out of energy. The British election result might possibly suggest parallels with Greece in 2019. And, while centrism is being defeated in France, it seems it has scored a major victory in the UK. This interpretation does not tell the proper story, however.

The Labour Party in Great Britain has convincingly won the early parliamentary elections, securing a majority of 170 seats in the House of Commons. This victory means Sir Keir Starmer is set to become prime minister with 410 Labour MPs, a number close to Tony Blair's win in 1997. Starmer is expected to meet King Charles III at noon to form a government.

A victory for Sir Keir Starmer’s party, in the British snap elections.

Specifically, Starmer’s Labour Party takes 410 seats (out of the total 650 seats in parliament), followed by Sunak’s Conservatives with 131 seats, the lowest number in their post-war history.

The Sun, one of Britain’s best-selling newspapers known for its record of backing election winners, has made a surprising turn. Owned by Rupert Murdoch, the tabloid, which was ideologically aligned with the Conservatives, announced on Wednesday, just before the parliamentary elections, that it now supports the Labour Party and its leader, Keir Starmer.

Keir Starmer is emerging as a potential future Prime Minister of Britain, presenting himself as a meticulous and professional lawyer with a focus on details rather than charisma, according to Politico's analysis.
