As the next prime minister of Britain, Keir Starmer promised to implement change after his Labour Party easily defeated the Conservatives in a legislative election on Friday, ending 14 years of frequently turbulent rule.
With voters punishing Rishi Sunak’s Conservatives for a cost of living problem, inadequate public services, and a slew of scandals, the center-left Labour party was expected to secure a sizable majority in the 650-seat parliament.
In a victory address, Starmer declared, “Change begins now.”
“We promised to put an end to the mayhem, and we will; we promised to turn the page, and we have. We open the next chapter and get to work on transformation today.
