The Labour party has won over 400 seats (out of 650) in the 2024 UK General Elections, and Keir Starmer is expected to replace Rishi Sunak as Prime Minister. The Conservatives, in power for the last fourteen years, have suffered a rout, losing over two-thirds of their seats. The SNP has collapsed in Scotland, mostly to Labour, and the Liberal Democrats have gained over sixty seats.

Murikan here. I really like Corbyn. He feels like your version of our Bernie Sanders.

He’s better than Sanders, especially on foreign policy.

Wasn’t trying to rate their respective values, just that one reminded me of other. Bernie’s the best we can muster here. I imagine if things were a little bit more reasonable in our country, we might see more like him and Corbyn.

I’m a New Zealander and I feel the same way. Starmer is like a non geriatric version of Biden: he would fit right in the Tories
