A crushing victory for the Labor.This is the outcome of the general elections in United Kingdom, which will lead to the first left-wing government in the last 14 years.A change that is historic in its own way, but which had been widely predicted by the polls, which had revealed the British people's desire for change after the last difficult years of the Conservatives.The prime minister is Keir Starmer, who has already given his first speech as prime minister after being appointed by King Charles III to form a new government.

 How did the elections go in the UK?

On July 4th in the United Kingdom people voted for general elections.It was an early election, called six months ahead of the natural expiry of the legislature by the conservative Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who the polls on the eve showed was significantly weakened.According to surveys, in fact, the country he comes from 14 years old of conservative governments, seemed ready for the great turn to the left.In fact, recent years have been very troubled by the negative effects of Brexit to the scandals that involved some prominent figures in the party, up to the government instability that led to a change of prime minister three times within a short time – from Boris Johnson to Liz Truss, up to the present Rishi Sunak.And there was a left turn.

The Labor Party he won the elections by a landslide, obtaining an absolute majority in parliament.The vote is in the final stages and it is the centre-left he got 412 seats out of the 650 available, a historic result that comes close to Tony Blair's record 1997, when the party obtained 419.The Conservatives only got it 120 seats,  the worst result since 1832.The outgoing prime minister Rishi Sunak he narrowly obtained election to parliament, but other prominent figures such as former prime minister Liz Truss even remained out.Whoever obtained a seat is Nigel Farage, the leader of the far-right Reform UK party.While the consensus obtained by the Scottish nationalists of the SNP.

Who is the new Prime Minister Keir Starmer

The Labor Party will now have to form a new government and the Prime Minister will be the leader Keir Starmer.In his first speech as a winner at the Royal Festival Hall in London, Starmer he said that "we have finally taken a burden off ourselves", referring to the sacking of the Conservatives. “Change starts now”, he added, promising an era of national renewal.

Starmer was born in 1962 and has a law degree.As a lawyer he worked for a long time in the field of human rights, also consulting for the government on the topic in the early 2000s.In the 2014 he left his legal career to enter politics with the Labor Party, immediately obtaining a seat as an MP in that year's elections.In 2019, after Labour's poor result in the elections, he took the reins of the party from Jeremy Corbin, making it take on a profile more moderate and centrist and promising that he would bring him back to government "in the next legislature".Mission accomplished.
