When new leaders enter office, their "honeymoon period" often leads to their approval rising among the electorate. However, Starmer's is already on the decline just over a month into his premiership. So what's caused this drop? And how can he recover?

Let's face it, the "at least they're not the Tories" was a pretty low bar and not much of a jumping off point
lets face it - the media and public were trying to hold labour acciountable years ago despite not even being elected yet - in no way is that fair lol
At least their not Reform
Let’s face it……we have no choice after 14 years of third rate Tory corruption !!

@@ilovehorses1horses why would they, hay guys i only won cuz my competition destroyed his voter base!
They conserved nothing
Labour didn't "win" the election as much as the Conservatives "lost" it by alienating the people who first voted for them in 2019 (with a mixture of broken promises and incompetence), while at the same time alienating large chunks of their base who punished them by voting for Reform. Starmer won with fewer votes than Corbyn got when he lost in 2019, and IIRC, the total Tory+Reform vote was more than what Labour got. What this means is that Starmer wasn't elected on a wave of "mass enthusiasm" for anything he said or did, but more of a grudging, "well let's give this guy a try, how can he be worse?" kind of mood. No surprise then that there's not much public appetite for cutting him some slack.
100%
This is why we need to get rid of FPTP
We've seen the harm "at least they're not as bad..." Candidates do
And it almost always leads to the far right getting even more control eventually

@@Grandude77 anti-freedom of speech laws are being drafted and his reactionary ramping up of police power.
Starmers plan to quell the riots was to paint all of them as far right and try to suppress freedom of speech rather than just addressing the issues that cause the riot in the first place.
Keir stalin created this mess himself
He had a honeymoon period? When?
Yeah seriously. Was he ever that popular? The only reason Labour won by as much as they did was because Reform UK split the right-wing vote. Don't get me wrong, I love it when the right-wing shoots itself in the foot, but it's not like anyone actually likes Starmers milquetoast social liberalism.

Starmer does not have a majority 34% voted him in 66% against.
Everything you have said above is nonsense 😂 Labour have a majority of seats on parliament and based on the turnout of less than 60%, only circa 20% of the electorate voted Labour
You don't vote against people in the UK's elections. That's not how it works in this country or any other liberal democracy.
People might vote for someone rather than someone else, but that's not the same thing at all.
@@BiTurbo228 what are you rambling about?
@@markgt894 Saying 66% of people voted against Starmer is not an accurate description of what happened. 34% of people voted for Starmer, and 66% of people voted for different people (but not all the same person). This Starmer comes out as the candidate that won.
It's not a complicated thing to wrap your head around.
@@BiTurbo228 where did i say 66% voted against Starmer? What are you rambling on about?
People seem to forget that the only reason Starmer was voted in was because he was the less bad option.
You seem to glance over that Starmer has to fix the mess the Tories have left behind +22 billion in uncovered expenses last year alone (this was intentional to destabilise the new kabinet), and Reform et all actively egging on racism fulled riots, sabotaging the fundamentals of a social society for all.
The lesser of two weevils
He was the worst option
Kier Starmer has single handedly lost the respect of the majority of the U.K. electorate already!
He was elected just over a month ago. Parliament is in recess. Unexpected shit happened but it's been dealt with as quickly as possible. I feel like a lot of people expect MIRACLES out of a new government. Jesus Christ give this guy some more time! It's unacceptable to pass judgment on a new govt so damn quickly and they can't undo the mess of the previous 10-14 years in one month!

@@kingflynxi9420 1 day?! WTF!!! That's 24 hours. It should've been undone in 1 hour.
Starmer was never popular, sure he had good approval ratings, but that's only due to the comparison with the Tories, if the Labor candidate had been a flaming bag of dog poop it would have been viewed favorably too.
Now that the Tories are out of power he has to stand on his own merits and he doesn't have much.
I think Starmer invented a whole new shade of beige just to match his personality.
Literally who are these people that expected Starmer to fix 15 years of tory decline in a matter of weeks??
asking the real questions here
And when you talk about "15 years of tory decline" you really mean 25 years of Blairism decline, because the tories were just continuing Blairite policies instead of rolling them back.
@@256shadesofgrey Austerity was a Blairite policy?

It's pretty obvious bud
there was never a honeymoon period.
The problem we have now are deep rooted and are the results of politicians actions over the last 20 to 30 years maybe even longer . giving out harsh sentences is always a bad sign.
Mostly a sign of a authoritarian regime. Hardly a democracy.
Harsh sentences don't work when the actions that receive those sentences are driven by emotions. Far better to try to understand where those emotions come from, and resolve those issues, than try to plug a leak in a dam with a finger. Poverty and wealth inequality, as well as two tier policing, biased and purposely divisive media reporting, and an immigration policy that makes little to no attempt to integrate immigrants into british culture are some of the biggest drivers of the riots imo. Not to mention that discussion around these issues is almost always led by ideologues...
They literally are launching skills programs so we are less reliant on migrants to plug skills gaps..
peoples "emotions" are fucking stupid, and a lot of those peoples "emotions" are "I don't like brown people because I heard from the shit media I listen to have told me they're somehow dangerous to me and to blame for me having too much personal debt"
Not really surprising given that labour didn't actually gain many voters in the election. I hope he realises that he's got the job because of how much people hated the tories, not becaise of how popular he was...

I think we need some perspective here - I didn’t vote for Starmer but it has been a month, hardly enough time to start getting the pitchforks before they’ve even started to make changes
He has been widely criticized for his response to the riots and ramping up censorship online, that is within his first month.
We're far more impatient with our politicians at the best of times now, we expect immediate results not drawn out excuses or u-turns. Not implying that Labour are going back on their word entirely but for all the things they promised there's only so much they could be reasonably expected to provide. Any perceived failure on a "key pledge" of theirs will be used as a line of attack by Reform/whatever remains of the Conservatives at this point, in much the same way as Sunak's problems opened him up to fierce rebuttals from Starmer previously.
That's the point really;, we, the public, are becoming rapidly less forgiving of our politicians and far less reasonable regarding any missteps or blunders they might make, we almost seem to expect it to all be fixed overnight, which just isn't how legislation works. None of this is helped by the right-wing being exceptionally sore losers about the general election, despite them spending the previous fifteen years screaming "we won (on brexit), stop whinging!".
@@MultiKommandantthe problem with Labour is only around 33% of the population voted for them, which means 66% of the people don’t want them. At least with brexit, no matter how small the majority, most of the people in the uk voted in favour of it. This election has just proven how non-democratic FPTP is.
when would you support people getting out the pitchforks?
The first thing you do being anti free speech and blaming the riots entirely on white people while ignoring all the Muslims doing the exact same thing if not worse. It's certainly not a good look
14 years of tory government people have no problem- less than 30days of a Labour government people are outraged.
Ikr. We need to give them at least a year or 6 months to see the proper effects of these changes. Its good to see actual change then just stuttering and doing crap.
What are you on about have no problem? They were literally obliterated a month ago in the election.
Sociologists call it status frustration
His biggest failing is refusing to acknowledge any of the reasons why the recent protests began. He totally ignored them like they either didn't exist or had no validity at all.
That's because they happened as a result of Farage, Robinson, Tory party etc and right wing media spreading lies and misinformation about immigrants and asylum seekers. For example, the lies about immigrants just being negative for society, when they are a positive overall. If the media spoke true fully, none of this would have happened.
Protests? You mean coke-fuelled riots in which ethnic minorities were the target?
The reason being that we've been fed racist lies for years the result of which is that brown people can be blamed for anything now
Labour would never tackle that problem, They live in their own little bubbles
@@HexAyed 420 UK constituencies voted for Labour the most out of all the parties in the country. So MAYBE they aren't in the bubble, and the angry minority are the ones in an angry little bubble.

A honeymoon period wasn't likely to be great for a party that won just a third of the vote - the smallest by a winning party in 200 years. Compared to previous elections it is as if the big losers won.

@@leonbanks5728 Well if you trow the working class under the buss. And insults them. And cut their benifits instead of actually taxing the rich. Like in their manifesto. Yeah no honeymoon for you.
@@TheSegert He didn't get a honeymoon period because the media were demanding him, to quickly fix the mess that The Tories had caused over the last 14 years even though it’s not possible to fix it quickly, especially when they started demanding it from the day Labour won the election.

You clearly don't understand the voting system. It's not about the number of votes. They played the system and got the votes in the right place. You might as well be saying England should win the football because they got the most corners.
Hes disgraceful. Riots under his watch, and he spat in their face.
To be fair though, the tension that contributed to the riots had been building up over the past 14 yrs the Tories were in power.
Blaming Labour for the racist riots created by years of propaganda from the racist party. Let's do better than this
Very unfair to blame him for the riots..
@@TheMonsterReapz No it isn't.

The thing is. The last elections where the most undemocratic ever. Where a minority of votes. Secured a majority of seats. Due to first past the post. Ive read only 26 percent of voters voted for labour. And that is not counting the people that didnt vote at all. So Two Tier Starmers government. Is just a goverment for the minority.
The biggest problem is inequality. The gap between poor and rich. And what is the first thing two tier starmer did? yes cutting down benifits for the lower classes. Not increase taxes on the rich. or cutting their benifits(why the F do they get benifits at all!). Both the labour and the conservatives. Are 2 sides of the same coint. Corrupt. Only benifiting the elite. Leaving the poor people in squalor. And facilitating immigration so the people dont get angry at them. But at migrants.
That is why the spark that happend in southport. Made such a big fire. Figuratively speaking. People are done. People are done being treated as trash. As second class citizens. Even lower than immigants. So yes. of course immigration gets the blame. Because that is what the media and politicians said. People believe that. And now because of this violence. The media are spinning the narrative of the government. That all poor and working class people. Are somehow far right. This inflamed everything even more. You should not insult a angry mob. Because that makes them more angrier.
There should be political reforms. Two Tier Starmer. Should resign. And a new party. Or new parties. Should stand up. And build a represantative democracy. Not the farce that there is now.

This would destabilize Britain even more and would fuck it up for this century
Fixing stuff takes time and just doing short term solutions will not benefit the people in the long run
You are a fool.
3:34 not sure why people keep comparing Blair with Starmer. Whatever wrongs Blair committed, he was a far more politically astute and brilliant leader than the clueless Starmer ever was or is. One is extremely intelligent and the other isn't. I'm not sure how they can govern for the next 5 years. yes, they won a huge majority, but in this case that didn't translate into significant political capital
Does it really matter he has 5 years before the next election
It could if his party turns on him. His power comes from having MPs that will push things through parliament.

Almost 4/5 of registered British voters did not vote Labour, how is it in any way surprising that once the Tories are out of the picture the people remember that they do not like Starmer either?
He's going to do a "Truss", isn't he? - A few weeks of getting it all wrong, then step down and enjoy a lifetime of doing nothing while drawing the ex Prime Minister's pension of £100,000 plus!
the reason for the drop in popularity is that they're (correctly) tackling the more difficult issues very early on, with the idea that if they make the right decisions it will pay off before the next general election, especially with the more urgent problems left by the tories such as prisons. Another one is that a lot of people were not really aware of Labour's policies until they started getting implemented, even though it was all in the manifesto
Another one is that a lot of people were not really aware of Labour's policies until they started getting implemented, even though it was all in the manifesto.

Yeah it really doesn't matter. I hope they keep making sensible but unpopular decisions like means testing more benefits.

@@moonlit_forest2680 you sound like a 16 year old.

Are you one of these people who decided that Covid and the fallout from the Ukraine war was the conservatives fault, or did they just have to deal with the consequences ?

I wanted the tories out, but I didn't want this. If we could have a tory party that actually had their act together, focusing on the needs of the British people, that would be ideal. Reform is far too radical for my taste, but I do believe we need to start focus on looking after our own first and not allowing ourselves to be plagued by illegal migration
This is Britain. The last time a politician was truly popular was early Blair imo, and look where that led. It’s just natural to dislike the sitting prime minister and especially the chancellor of the Exchequer.
Since this guy become, the people realized he's not right person to be PM , now people love to hate him, the guy betrayed his country's trust.
Labour voices the right intentions but locks itself in handcuffs (Tory fiscal rules being an example). Going for growth without tackling inequality, while buying the lie of trickle down. Expecting pensioners to help fill the "black hole" instead of taxing wealth or increasing the windfall tax on energy companies. Promising more housing by changing planning rules instead of tackling the major obstacle: land-banking... Key examples that show a pandering to corporate donors instead of working for the people.
They have only just started, we haven't even had a budget yet.
Over half the country didn't vote for him. It's understandable really, because he never had large public support.
It hasn't helped that Labour didnt cancel or delay summer recess. My main gripe with Labour is that this country needs a HELL of a lot of work done to fix the CONtory damage done over 14 years, yet they make sure they get their summer breaks and time off. I'll be further annoyed if they continue to finish early on a Thursday in Parliament as the last government did, which is a sign that they dont have much to do. I expect 9-9, 5 times a week if they were real about fixing the country.

@@noahbowie5985Being in parliament is less than half of their job. Above all, they have responsibilities to their constituents. Those calling for parliament to sit all year round are calling for MPs to lose their connection to the constituencies that voted for them.

The Real Business of Government will start in September ( The media know this already but choose to cause mischief.). It was always the case when Rishi Called the General Election in July. It's actually extremely unfair to think that MP's no matter what persuasion they are. Are not entitled to August Recess. Yet the Media (which is Tory by default) are reporting Starmer asleep at the Wheel. This is utter nonsense, I think he has done the Job reasonably well considering the previous Government ransacked the Justice system over 14 years. He got the Experts (with skin in the game ) together listened to their advice and followed it. The riots have been cooled and the Animals who smashed up communities are fast-tracked to jail times they deserve. The minimum expectation of any Government. It will take years to repair our Ransacked Public services and to suggest that Sir Kier Starmer is doing a bad job just shows to me one of two things 1/ people are too far gone to know what a good grown-up Government looks like ( described as Boring ) or 2/ That their own Party beliefs will always counter other parties views even if its the most right and sain thing to do. Labour has already shown signs that they are rolling up their sleeves, just have patiences and revisit it in 12 months time you will see some really good changes that real people will feel the benefits.
every government has let MPs leave early on thursday for their friday surgeries. It is possible to look slightly into things before forming an opinion
People really expect miracles
The last couple of months have shown that people in this country are far more interested in the theatre of politics then actually fixing the countries issues. Labour is boring and things didnt instantly get better so they've failed. Honestly this nation deserves its fate at this point.
To be fair to Stalmer the Southport stabbing has left the country shook, tensions have rarely been higher about immigration and safety and people will naturally be outraged that the government can't stop it.
I'm still willing to give this government a chance, after 14 years of Tories I'm willing to be patient and see how this next year goes

Not to mention great british energy turning out to be a load of twaddle also
@keithparker1346 show that the changes hes making isnt negatively impacting enough while also improving what its trying to improve
To be honest, there's barely been enough time for them to push anything further at the moment, as there is so much chaos the Tories handed to them and the long-term consequences of the Tories' actions, which resulted in the right-wing riots. I don't blame Labour for the Tories' faults; it's just that things had to be fixed. The winter fuel allowance doesn't affect me as I'm not a pensioner. I'm sure some people may need it, but I think it's one of those "it is what it is" moments.
Stammer has never been popular. His main attribute has always been ‘I’mnottheTories’
What a joke.
the Tories are out, Labour only been in a month and under the most terrible and hostile conditions, and note the links between the far-right, Russia Israel and in some cases China are now becoming clear, the Tories and there hateful clones that includes reform UK, can never get into power, they are just the puppets of hostile states, they had 14 years and all they did was destroy the UK and in the last 6 of their term salting the earth, maybe cut them some slack.
Then what do you call the last 14 years? A tragedy?

Starmer really really has a PR problem
he can always arrest people in prison for unfavourable comments on social media 😂
Starmer never got a landslide victory as less than 20% of adults voted for him, he got a landslide number of seats, that just shows the UK has a poor electoral system not that anyone liked stamer /labour. To hammer this point home with facts Yougov stated half the people who did vote for him did so to get rid of conservatives , not for him or his policies .
He won a record low number of votes, so it was to be expected. He only represents a very small part of the population which he now made clear.
Europe is very interesting in that almost every single leader has a below 50% approval rating, yet they are still voted in after each election.
European governments are usually multiparty coalitions. You don't need more than 35% of the vote to be the largest party in most elections.
2010: Bad news guys. The last government has left us with a financial black hole, crippling deficit and a skyrocketing debt. Time for deep austerity, cancelling of projects, cutting of benefits, suppression of wages, crippled public services, sharply rising poverty in working adults, plummeting living standards, rising dependence on charities and food banks. Don't expect anything extreme like wealth taxes or UBI to fix this. Just remember we're all in this together and prosperity is just around the corner.

Meet the new Boss.
Same as the old Boss.
Won't get fooled again.
This comment will look dumb in four years.
Straight out of Machiavelli. He literally recommends this strategy for new rulers! :)
Which is why your next boss should be the one that can actually REFORM the country. The definition of insanity is voting Tory or Labour and expecting different results.
Meh, Labour didn’t advocate for Brexit, Labour didn’t destroy the lower class, Labour isn’t setting up the illiterate to bash migrants their heads in. Labour may or may not be incompetent, but they aren’t evil to the level of Farage or the Tories who are only in it to appease their rich donors buddies.
You think Labour should do better, be a member and bring the change you think is required.
@@ivarbrouwer197 Spotted the NPC.
Governing a ship adrift is not an easy task!
It seems, the riots are now being talked about in the past tense, except in Northern Ireland. The rest of the UK don't care what happens in NI. Strikes me Starmer has controlled the damage.
Yeah. Completely resolved the issue.
Bollocks 😂😂 hes stuck a plaster on a gaping wound and you call it job done
Starmer really dropped the ball on failing to respond effectively to the far right riots. He allowed right wing mobs to terrorize ethnic minority neighborhoods in cities and he’s given barely any lip service. Labour was already suffering a credibility damage with the war in Gaza, but this just makes it worse for Starmer.
“Failing to respond”?
He’s literally put an end to the riots in less than a week.
No fan of Starmer by any stretch but it’s ludicrous that people are calling him a failure this early on. I fear these riots may hang over his head, but a lot of people still aren’t understanding how much they were fuelled by misinformation, and his swift response to public disorder is commendable.
I slightly disagree with this only on the fact that misinformation essentially brought to the surface all these problems. The reasons for the riots were already brewing it’s that one bit of misinformation was the spark that ignited the whole fire.
So bystanders who watch the riots or police going after people who post anything about the riots are just misinformation? A warning that the gov. literally gave?
It's a messy situation no matter how you look at it, I don't think it's necessarily his fault, loads of misinformation, extremes, and a lack of moderation
The problem is not the swiftness of his response, but his messaging on it. People are upset about 2 tier policing, and what he did was confirm all of those concerns by condemning the British protesters and then excusing the muslim ones.
Honeymoon? Labour hasn't even left the Chapel. At least give them a couple of months before you start ripping into them.
I am no fan of Starmer. But it's been 2 months....you can't redo what the previous 14 years have done to everyone in 2 months. He probably can't do it in his entire mandate but then again what did the previous ones do other than scandal after scandal?
hes just as left leaning as tories, he wont change nothing
So you have no faith in Labour to fix things, just like 4/5 of the electorate. You're in good company.
yet it seems he has received positive responses in the press for his tough approach to the riots
Yes tough approach to the indigenous Britons. Not the migrant gangs.
Yeah, Two Tier Policing

Labour didn't get a lot of votes, just a lot of seats.

There is nothing to offer 14 years of the Tories has made sure of that.
He's only been in power for a few weeks.
Do you know how long it takes a government to make changes to laws? He doesn't have a fairy godmother magic-wand to wave about in the air, to make instant changes happen in a second.
He’s failed within a month.he’s a disgrace

Keir is literally 1984 incarnate
For the a son of a tool maker, he is good at making himself look like a tool.
Yeah he is done, notice how most of the protests/riots were mainly in places that usually voted labour. Keir basically told them he doesn't care about them. The working class used to be labours backbone.
Exactly. And ridiculous that his calling white Labour voters far right.
@@cs7th Do you really think those who were out rioting, attacking people and burning down businesses were Labour voters, or even bother to vote to begin with?
Sir Keir must take the feelings of the working class into consideration! The working class built this nation and Sir Keir must have respect for them.
There was a honeymoon phase with this guy?
New Zealand's current/new government and PM - never got a honeymoon period, because he's an absolute bellend. They're tearing up social fabric like the tories have done for the last 14 years over there. Hospitals closing sometimes because not enough staff, spending NZ$1Billion to cancel new ferries that go between to the two main islands, with no replacements, and Massive taxcuts for Landlords - who HARDLY need it.
Hmmm wasn't jacinda promoted internationally as a feminist icon

@karankapoor2701 Jacinta Arden got voted out of office. The current government is led by Christopher Luzon, who's from a different party.
That's not the "gotcha" you think it is.
*Luxon, not Luzon.
@@unhippy1 Wrong on every level, worst PM in history on a policy level(on a personal level I have nothing but respect for that man) was arguably Jim Bolger who's policies led to child poverty doubling from 15 to 30%, soup kitchens reappearing for the first time since the great depression, around 38 hospitals closing down, etc. Jacinda led us through a crisis and saved at least 30,000 lives and the economy, by the end of the pandemic the economy was 7% bigger than it was before.
Put Corbyn in the Premiership and call it a day.

Speak for yourself
The UK seems to be unhappy with every leader.
His father was a tool maker. He made him, after all.
What a stupid video title. People arent going to change their opinion that much 1 month after an election. It's wrong talk about the supposed unpopularity of a prime minister when they haven't even been in office for a year. The question is do people want a general election? Can a general election be justified? The answer is no. It doesn't matter how many people hate Kier Starmer. This country isnt short of people who want to complain.
You must not of been paying attention the last month, people actually hate him now !
I think its mainly social media fueling this
@@MrPmcMcMental
They always hated him. Reform voters hate everything.
His popularity has already gone negative in polls.
Labour won the election by default. Starmer got less votes than Corbyn 5 years ago. Voters were disillusioned with politics, the turnout was low. Labour will be out in 2029.
i don't agree with the premise of the video. Labour has a maximum of five years in office. it's why too short to label them a bad government. Blaming Reeves for the black hole is unfair since she couldn't know the full state of it in Opposition.
The bots are out in Force
Which bots- for which party my friend
TLDR appears to be one with this
Your nans out in force
I don't even know your opinion on the matter but to call people you disagree with bots doesn't make you anymore right.
Starmer has picked up where Blair left off! He isn't my leader he should step down!
Labelling everyone right winged who is opposed to uncontrollable illegal immigrantion without reaching out and listening to their point of view is idiotic.
Are people who set up ethnic check-points and burn down libraries and foodbanks and hotels with people inside them really worth listening to?
well what else do you call needLessly violent rioters?
You are,.by implication, drawing a direct connection between those people and the rioters, implying that those riots are a natural outcome of those ideals, and you wonder why they're dismissed.
If you don't want to be tarred with that brush then you should be denouncing the rioters from the rooftops and putting as much distance between them and you as possible. This isn't monuments getting graffitied here, it's horrific attacks on very marginalised people.
Don't complain that you're being called right wing. _Distance yourself from the violent, prejudiced idiots._ Then we can talk.
Maybe those "concerned with illegal migration" should have protested peacefully then instead of bricking mosques, looting businesses and attacking random minorities in the street.
The counter protests managed it without resorting to violence.
@@zakwood3094 Were the (much worse) 2011 riots right-wing? What about the thousands of protesters that weren't violent? Were the under 18's far-right, that account for more than a quarter of arrests?

Starmer is awakening the silent majority who don't usually react to politics but respond robustly to authoritarianism and perceived unfairness.
There was no honeymoon for Starmer the Tory’s had a 14 year honeymoon.
Extreme marxist. It's going to end in tears.
Starmer was actually only elected by 20% of the entire UK Electorate which effectively means despite his massive majority in the Commons he is effectively running a minority Govt in the country. By being dictatorial in his leadership ideas he is going to have serious trouble in his leadership of the nation
Your conflating parties who dislike Labour policies, with parties who have similar policies but different implementation. Reform dislikes all Labour policies, and are keen to reduce the NHS, some Conservatives may think the same. However to imply that the Green Party, the Liberal Democrats, Plaid Cymru, and the SNP will not support any Labour plans to provide Extra NHS funding is such just disingenuous. Yes a large amount of people didn't vote for Labour, but a large amount of people voted for left leaning parties, which provides extra validity and support for their policies, as you will see when Bills in the arouse are voted on.
@@Diovanlestat I'm not conflating anything. 57% of people actually voted in the UK the majority of people didn't vote for Green. They only got three extra seats as for Plaid only Wales votes for them same with SNP the lib Dems did do well but only in targeted seats they didn't put up a candidate in every seat. Plaid have also ended their affiliation with Labour in Wales and are unlikely to support UK labour in any of their policies. The SNP also won't support any UK labour policy. So that only leaves the Lib Dems and they will be a bit dubious to support Starmer with Sir Edd Davey at the helm! Reform absolutely detest labour as do the Tories who are effectively going to be traveling towards the right of politics.
But collectively even with all the opposition parties objecting to Starmer they potentially could ultimately get most bills pushed through the Commons. The real opposition is going to come from the traditional Conservative blue wall Labour MPs who took the Tory seats because of a protest vote. When Starmer pushes his dictator views those MPs who've borrowed Tory seats will start to revolt because they know they are on borrowed time before those seats either revert back to Tory or Reform voters whenever the next election is going to be.
Because if Starmer carries on in his dictatorial role then gradually he will lose his majority one by one and that can happen very fast indeed!
Britain will not have a dictatorial govt for long before the people kick them out of office!
When I said he may rule the Commons but he doesn't rule the British people that's what I meant. The wider population of these Islands will not be told what they can and can't do by one person.
Out of the UK population a vast majority of them had families that fought Germany in two world wars to stop fascism and will not welcome it into the UK open armed so will punish Labour severely through declining support for their Labour MPs just as happened with the Tories at the last election!
Starmer is not a dictator. If anything, you should be looking at the likes of Farage, Trump etc if you want examples of that.
@@britbazza3568 Thank you for your detailed response. Very interesting. We are not a country running under the law of the jungle. If that keeps happening the soldiers will come in. Again you assume that in the law of the streets, everyone will agree with you. As the anti-racism protests have shown, more have supported a multicultural society than those who are currently on their way to jail. Like parties, there is not just one opinion.
The total of MP's who are on the left wing to join with labour, is more than the amount of MP's who will vote on the right wing with Conservatives and Reform.
With a majority of 411 it is guaranteed whatever Labout wants to be law, will be law. To wait for the 411 majority to decline, you'll be waiting for at least 2 years. In the meantime, they can only be removed by a no vote of confidence, and since they have more seats than everyone else, that is unlikely to happen.
Luckily we can see who is right in real time. Can Labout get support for new laws?. Will by-elections make them a minority party? Will all their MP's go crazy and join reform? Will the violent protest continue after so many people have been sent to jail?
I don't agree with your calculations, but with a crystal ball all we can do is watch and wait. However, this consideration has been most interesting.
The approval of the voters to a government who has a large majority, and do not have to call an election for 4-5 years is utterly irrelevant
please stop it with this continual meta-politics. constantly focusing on polling and what people are saying right now Drives politicians to be people pleasers and towards forever more short term policy. this is completely unhelpful. talk about policy not polls!

I sat this election out, I'm honestly a bit apathetic about it all at this point
Only ten million people out of around 67 million people on a 62 % turnout voted for Starmers government.
So before anything even happens two thirds of the country did not vote for him.
That is a major problem. His policies where not voted in by 66 out of every 100 people!
We need PR
Not voting is an endorsement of whoever gets voted in. If the people who abstained were actually opposed to Labour, they'd have voted for a rival party. This isn't the case.
@@kingflynxi9420 some people don't vote because they feel like voting for anyone apart from the big 2 is a wasted vote. The fact we have to vote tactically and not for who we actually want means we do not live in a proper democracy
