Friday, July 5th, the United Kingdom elected its 58th Prime Minister Keir Starmer to be its new Prime Minister. Keir Starmer subscribes to the UK’s Labor Party. The United Kingdom's Labor Party is a left leaning political party that consists of people who support both socialist, democratic, and trade unions. Previously, the United Kingdom was led by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak whose conservative position has appeared to be “detrimental” to the working class of people within the United Kingdom. Before being elected Prime Minister of the UK, Rishi Sunak promised to lower inflation, cut waiting lists for social service programs, enact policies to reduce debt, enhance the economy of the UK, and place controls on immigration.
As many citizens of the United Kingdom were heading toward the polls, they took a look back on failed promises of Rishi Sunak time as Prime Minister and decided to vote for Keir Starmer. Currently, both the economy and the quality of living for most citizens in the United Kingdom are in the toilet. Unemployment is high, and like America, the employers that are hiring are unable to increase employee wages so that it keeps pace with the ever-increasing inflation within the economy of the UK.
It was reported that Sir Keir Starmer whose political mantra is: “Country Before Party” is an attorney who became a public prosecutor that was knighted in 2014 for his exceptional devotion and service for the field of Criminal Justice. Moreover, it was also reported that he ran a socialist magazine by the name of “Socialist Alternatives. His political interests are increasing income tax and eliminating university tuition. In addition, Sir Keir Starmer is also seeking to nationalize many of the public services that many of the citizens of the UK utilize.
Sir Keir Starmer is also looking to reverse the Labor Party’s Green Investment Plan. It’s this position that has him at odds with people within his own party. Sure, the climate control activist will be upset; but the question of the day is: "How will Sir Keir Starmer supplement the issue of energy consumption within the UK considering that the UK is dependent on Russian energy.?" Geopolitically, many people within the UK are wondering how he will tackle not only UK /American relations, but how will he handle the Israel-Gaza-Hamas and now potentially Hezbollah War. Remember the UK is currently in a recession and has a weak national defense apparatus.
Lastly, the observers of the geopolitical chessboard around the world are wondering if Sir Keir Starmer will become yet another sock puppet for America and the Collective West. Only time will tell. But what everyone knows is that Sir Keir Starmer has his work cut out for him. The question is can he handle it?
