Labour party wins UK elections

Well, Labour did it. The July 4th UK general election saw Keir Starmer's party triumph over the Conservatives and the SNP across the length of Brtiain. Starmer will become Prime Minister later today.

Trump ally and Brexit pioneer Nigel Farage has secured more than ten parliamentary seats with his Reform party

Departing PM Sunak retained his constituency seat, despite facing opposition from Labour, Reform, and even the joke candidates like the Monster Loony Party and Count Binface

Took you guys long enough to get rid of the Tories. People still buying into Farage's idiocy is concerning but overall it's a promising result.

Well I don't like any of them but I still voted. I'm happy that the Conservatives are finally out. Labour won in my area from the Tories for the first time in over 50 years.

Thankfuily Reform only won four seats (the exit polls were predicting ten) but Farage won a seat at the eighth attempt so we will sadly get to hear his squawking drone in the House for a few years...

Well, it’s not strictly an American thing, since France had to deal with rioters after the Right won.



And as far as the UK is involved, there have been scuffles between protesters and police after an election in London, like after David Cameron’s re-election and Boris Johnson’s victory.
