Triumph of the Labor Party: Historical Change and Hope for Change
The importance of Strander's difficult start: An analysis of the British elections
The British press is in euphoria and uses superlatives to describe the historical triumph of the Labor party. After 14 years, the Tory party was punished by the British voters and the opposition has achieved a unique victory.
What is behind this victory? The British have voted on the austerity policy that has caused such devastations in the country that studies show that poorer British today have worse health and a shorter life expectancy than before. Brexit, which isolated the country internationally and inhibited economic growth, also played a role. In addition, the increasingly right-wing populist traits of the Tory party, corruption and the rule fractures among the voters have led to displeasure. Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Liz Truss have been perceived as entertaining but incompetent for many.
This triumph of the Labor party is not only important for Great Britain, but also for Europe. In many parts of the continent there are rights to right -wing extremists on the rise. An important signal sends that Britain went in the opposite direction. An approximation to Europe is now to be expected, at least in relation to the tone.
But the new government led by Keir Strandmer faces a huge task. The autumn removal of the voters against the Tories clearly shows the desire for change. Should Labor disappoint this hope and do not improve the living conditions of the British soon, populisite powers in the country could benefit from it. The party of the European community Nigel Farage, reform UK, has reached 14 percent. It turns out that right -wing populism still has an attraction to the British.
The coming weeks and months will be decisive for Keir Strander and his government to use the impetus of the elections and to meet the desire to vote for change. It remains to be seen whether they manage to regain the trust of the British and to lead the country into a positive future.
