LONDON, United Kingdom- The Labour Party has won the United Kingdom (UK) general election in a landslide, with results from almost all the parliamentary seats declared. Keir R. Starmer has become the new prime minister after meeting the King.

The Conservative Party lost more than 250 seats, its worst-ever defeat, and now faces life in opposition.

Starmer, who will become the first Labour prime minister in 14 years, said he intends to put "country first, party second."

The outgoing PM, Rishi Sunak, pledged to resign as party leader.

Liz Truss loses her seat

Several cabinet ministers lost their seats, as did Mary Elizabeth Truss aka 'Liz', whose premiership lasted a mere 49 days.

It was Truss who had initiated the controversial Order in Council to give the United Kingdom (UK) appointed Governor the power to suspend the [British] Virgin Islands (VI) if he was not satisfied with the implementation of the recommendations of the Commission of Inquiry (CoI).

The latest vote tally shows the Labour Party won 410 seats in the 650-seat House of Commons as compared to the 118 seats for the Conservatives.

Since Margaret Thatcher became the Conservative Party leader in 1979, Conservatives have controlled the government all but 13 years until now.

Meanwhile, Nigel P. Farage’s populist Reform UK party won its first seats and came second in many more, splitting the right-wing vote and contributing to the Conservatives’ losses.

The Liberal Democrats will be the third biggest party in parliament after its best result in years. The Greens made gains while the Scottish National Party suffered a collapse, losing nearly 40 seats, most of them to Labour.

    The king can't loose his seat. If people don't see something wrong with their system then they choose to turn a blind eye.

    The colored Prime Minister, was forced out, in parallel to the similar manner, in which the Duchess of Sussex, a colored woman from America, was forced out of Royal Life, and the Kingdom!

    COLOREDS,and their quasi-rise in power, SHALL, have no permanent place, in the Kingdom!

      A typically stupid claim of someone who just has a chip
      The " coloured" prime minister was the ine qho called fir tge election because he knew he was not doing a good job and put the people first by calling for a snap election.
      As for the " coloured woman from America" must be absolutly amazing to be able to be in politics when you are not " from there" unlike here.
      Dont throw the race card out everytime

    Everything in the Kingdom, "@Ausur", is about race!

    As a matter of fact, it is the only reason why Whites still live in the Kingdom!

    Were it not for the racist policies for the last ten thousand years, that have dominated social, and political life, in the Kingdom, the White race there, would have been extinct,a long time ago!


    White + Color, always equals Color!

    And the White man can only reproduce himself in the wombs of White women. All other wombs, the children are considered colored!

    So therefore, yes, Sunak could not have lasted in that ultra plus racist environment, that's called the United Kingdom of Great Britain, and Northern Ireland!
    The Duchess didn't, and neither did he!

    WE SHALL ALL SEE, how long it will take for the Kingdom, to"reelect", another " colored", into their power of leadership!

    AUSAR , WILL WAIT TO SEE!

      I don't know about wearing the cape for Rishi Sunak , as one of the wealthiest families in the UK he probably identifies more with whites a lot more than he does with blacks or coloreds. Whether they accept him or not that's his problem he is a big rich boy he can take care of that himself.

      I stand to be corrected, but Rishi was never elected into their power of leadership!

    Rishi was anti color so what is this guy going on about. The man seemed to hate minorities and comes up with dumb policies like tobacco free UK practically a dictator on a chain ready to maul colored people if he were let loose.
