The British Conservatives have had their worst electoral result in over 100 years. A new Labour cycle is beginning in the United Kingdom, and the question is: What can we expect? We'll tell you all about it!
#UK #Politics #Election
starmer did not "sweep the conservitaves aside" the conservatives brought themselves oblivion
yeah this is the correct analysis
Labour gained like 2% voter share, Starmer in particular even *lost* approval after he purged the left wing from his party and pledged to maintain austerity measures.
The tories just collapsed and got eaten by reform, which in a first past the post system means a complete wipeout.
and the broken electoral system helped.
The fact Reform did well makes me shake head. The other parties should of pointed out Reform caused Brexit, and Tories fumbled fixing it
@@TheMelbournelad There will always be a subsection of people who cant be bothered with introspection and will just blame it all on minorities.
“Are you in the Business world?”
“Sir I’m HOMELESS” 😂😂
I live for moments like this. I've giggled for hours just thinking about it.
Cameron got let off lightly in your analysis. Austerity was a short-term fix that caused lasting damage.
Government collects enough tax money already. It is just badly allocated so don't blame austerity but make your government spend wisely
You dunno what you're watching, this is a pro austerity channel, libertian right slanted channel, of course they love austerity. Why do you think the bearded old presenter left?
@@Fabian-jw5ih no government ever spended wisely
Imagine coming to a video anout Kier Starmer to hear about Kier Starmer and having to sit through 16 minutes of rehashing old news about the conservstives
Trust me you don't want to know the truth about Starmer. You would be absolutely horrified.

Labour didn't end the Conservatives tenure, the Conservatives did. Labour will have a tough time retaining their majority in 2029.
Depends how they do.
5 years is a long time. Not even 5 years since covid started and that feels ages ago.
Ild say like he has said they the tough unpopular stuff will happen in 24/25, than gives 2-3 years for them to take hold and improve stuff before next election. Then hopefully have positive things to show for it all
@@TheMelbournelad 5 years is a long time yes, but look at the numbers. Only 33% of the electorate voted for Starmer, compared to 40% in 2019 when they lost. If the Conservatives and Reform can get their act together and work as a block, the Lib Dems lose momentum (as they tend to as they only gain votes from apathy for Conservatives and Labour) and the SNP regain footholds in Scotland, Starmer is going to have a hard time in 2029. He'll have to pull of an economic miracle to survive, which sounds unlikely with his plan to increase public spending.
@@TheButterShowThatsMe yep. Was a weird and record breaking election for you guys sure.
I’m in Australia so this kind of votes to seats isn’t seen here due to preference voting system.
Clearly they worked and worked with people to maximise their seat count.
As I said have to wait and see. But yes historically he will lose seats come late 2029, but how many if any, have to wait and see.
Jeremy corbyn should join the social labour party and lead it. That labour party is actually truer to the classic labour party than the current neoliberal labour party.
If the classic labour party (the same one that saw the healthcare crisis of the 1940s and created the NHS) were around and in power today, they would have created the national housing and utility service (NHUS) where builders, realtors, etc are civil servants and homes are free to families and singles. The only responsibility for homeowners would be the council tax and upkeep.
cons never lose
They didn't have a plan after Brexit
Yeah they done everything possible to go against what the people voted for
They didn't have a plan before Brexit
It was all a powergrab and minority wealth grab. Lots of people made billions on it and everyone else have to pay for it now.
@@FarberBob678 not only didn't they have a plan. They burned as many bridges on their way out.
I just hope now the UK can start to try and rejoin the EU.
Indeed.
Boris Johnson talked big, but was fundamentally not serious about governing.
He "got Brexit done". Which was his pr talk and the entire extent of his ideas about how to run Britain.
Dominic Cummings has claimed that after Brexit Johnson felt he had made the media too hostile to him and was now going to try an patch things up with them instead of rocking the boat by using the huge majority the conservatives had to actually deliver on the promises they had made to the electorate.
Johnson is of course himself a journalist. Which may not always be a bad thing but in this case gave the conservatives a fool concerned solely with appearances rather than an actual leader.
Austerity is the main reason the uk has lower productivity than most of our neighbours. The freemarket has failed, to deliver infrastructure or human capital that's value for money.
The european union didn't punish the UK. They just negotiated in their own best interests and didn't give the UK any special favors.
This channel seems so out of touch since simon left. Did you get bought out by a tufton street thinktank? It's like Liz Truss is writing half of these videos 😑😅
What are you talking about? Germany and France, that you admit are more productive, have more regulation involved in hiring and firing than the uk does. They don't have zero hour contracts in France!
The fact of the matter, that we will not get high private investment, if the government keeps failing to invest in building modern infrastructure. We need more of everything, because the population is increasing. Our motorway network and high speed rail network, compared to france or italy is an absolute joke. That requires public spending to fix.
The conservatives tried austerity and it didn’t work because they did it on the things that are actually productive.
If you do austerity on healthcare for example, people’s health may suffer, which means their productive may suffer. So you save money by providing less care, but you also forgo the tax receipts of that person being more productive sooner or not dying.
Maybe take care of yourself rather than expecting the government to do it
@@dustintacohands1107government is a huge source of our limitations. The heavy regulations on businesses, land use, and occupations create barriers for the private sector to provide for itself. The taxes they take out is a massive redirection of our output.
Benefits are a compensation for such government interference. You broke it you buy it. Either that, or deregulate as much as possible and give everybody back their taxes.
@@Basta11 brother I’m subscribed to John Stossel
@@dustintacohands1107the government benefits from a healthy population so they should be focused on making that happen. A government that is disinterested in the health of its people is the same as person who is disinterested in their own health.
@@dustintacohands1107 I agree with the Libertarians, but also I'm a pragmatist.
In the case of the UK, dismantling the NHS is political suicide because so many rely on it. Ok then, make it run properly.
Do it right, or get out of the way. If a government is going to monopolize healthcare, at least try to let it be decent.
Why did only 60% vote. That is about the same as America 64% in the last election.
Many developed nations has election participation of 80 to 90% because it is consideret a previlage and duty. Why does that not apply to the UK and US?
Disillusioned about the obvious corrupt system.. That's why so many didn't vote
Estonia has 64% participation. Usually those 80 to 90 percent are those with mandatory election.
Because of tĥe first past the post system, which means that small parties basically have zero chances of getting a good amount of seats, so you end up having to vote tactically AGAINST the one you hate, instead then for the ones you prefer.
So maybe you like green but they stand no chances of getting any seats unless they get the majority in your area, thus you will end up voting labour or reform to kick out the conservatives instead.
People tend not to if it's a guaranteed win for one party (which is against my personal views) and first past the post really only benefits one party usually.
Also, tactically voting is a thing in the UK, the Lib Dems got 71-73 seats this election because many labour voters gave their votes to them knowing they'd never beat hardcore tory voters
@@no_name4796
Actually You have higher chances of a seat as a small party in FPP than in PR with a threshold(which is usually a thing, most countries have some form of threshold)
Participation is purely a function of whenever it is mandatory, enforced and how high is political apathy which is usually extremely high in developed nations. It's important to notice that huge protests don't mean low political apathy. Protests only mean that some portion got radicalised for whatever reason and want to force gov to do something as it probably didn't listen to begin with.
Starmer is radical moderate.
He's a radical centrist labourist, but he's not what I would consider centre-left.
While I'm glad Labour won it's pretty concerning that a party can get a third of the votes and 2 thirds of the seats.
The more left wing perspective is that the excessive austerity to cut debt when debt was low cost during the 2008 crisis destoried momentum in the economy. They did the opposite of what is needed in a financial crisis, (in the Keyensian sense) they needed to spend to sustain investment in the economy. If the British government wont invest in the economy why would private companies invest in the UK?

He said middle and lower class. Likely will shaft the upper middle class and upper class folks the top 1% won't be impacted much since they run the government.
There's a big difference between being a man of the people and being a man for the people. If and absurdly wealthy person states that he is not one of them but one for them, he's going to get a lot more votes that way.
You’ve misunderstood the NHS payment system. Payment by results (PbR) was tethered to activity but length of stay payments were bucketed and capped, limiting the amount of funding a hospital provider received per admission, regardless of length of stay. PbR has largely been replaced by block contracts and, since COVID, the aligned incentives contract. These approaches effectively bulk-buy services and, although are subject to modest growth annually (an inflation measure, which is then ‘deflated’ by an efficiency target), aren’t tethered to activity.
Based on your argument, that hospitals hold on to patients because it earns them more money, the opposite is true. Hospitals have a duty of care to their patients, and they can only discharge them if there’s somewhere to discharge them to (that’s safe, and will aid their recovery). A lot of the time, this can’t be done as social care packages can’t be procured (due to inadequate funding or no providers wanting to bid to provide services). This is a social care problem, not an NHS problem. Many have argued that it’d be much cheaper for NHS hospitals to procure social care packages to support discharge, but this doesn’t work for multiple reasons. Holding patients in a hospital bed is incredibly costly, and hospital providers don’t get more money the longer they stay. It leads to issues with ‘flow’ (impacting A&E weights and ambulance discharge delays), the requirement for agency staff to deal with operational pressures, and the establishment of escalation wards. All of this is unfunded.

It does have uk
Tories made one big error. The forgot that it is their duty was to deliver a conservative economics and not a popular one.
He's going to print money.
Well the Tories did it to themselves. They did not have solid well thought out plans or even solid direction to lead the country in! It is as if they had never heard of such things. Waffeling about in every which direction in politics, ecconomics, industry and on and on. They never seemed to have any confidence either. We will have to see what we see. I doubt this will be a good move for the UK. The Tories where slowly marching into oblivion and I fear the Labour Party will more quickly charge into the same oblivion! We will have to see where things are in 12 month intervals! Things will either get better or worse for the country!
You forgot that almost everthing they done was in favour of there rich frends and donors.

Starmer didn't do anything positive, the Tories are shot and everyone now hates them. That's the only reason why he's pm.
Tame inflation? lol he just changed the numbers and removed factors that affected inflation and said look inflation is down 😂
An even greater number of patients than 7 million are waiting to be seen in France which only has a partly state funded health service! Please note. Similar population in UK and France
It's a supply of doctors and nurses issue. Same in the us and Canada. Doesn't matter the system: socialized, single-payer, dual-payer, private insurer. Doctors and nurses got shrewed last 4 years+
@@Governor-General.of.Qanada ask yourself why
Some shrewd points but drowned in a mire of lazy drivel making it obvious the real facts have simply not been researched.
Several points I'd like to add:
1. Starmer didn't really win many votes. He increased labour vote share by only 1.5% as well as the lib dems who won massivley with 0.7% vote share gained. The big problem for the conservatives is reform UK who gained almost 15 percentage points of the close to 20% vote share lost by the tories. This led to massive losses in the first-past-the-post system the UK has.
2. It's not that they did not have a plan for Brexit the whole campaign was populist and moronic. The plan was not bad because the Leave campaign drew up a fantasy world in which the EU would just continue giving all benefits without any responsibilities to the UK side. It was like expecing your girlfriend to still clean your house, do your laundry and have sex with you after breaking up. Also a lot of the campaign was build around factual lies like claiming a net spend to the EU of over 300 million which was below a third of that or claiming fishing zones that were not possible like that under international law.
3. Starmer funnily did the same as Scholz in Germany. Be quiet, basically promise the same things as the conservatives but just be less unlikely than their candidate. Though actually this is a worrisome trend in many western democracies where a lot of campaigns now only are about keeping someone worse out and people tend to vote to impede something than to cause actual change or vote for something they agree with. In the US Biden won on the grounds of keeping trump out, Starmer wins to end the Tories, Scholz won to keep the CDU/CSU from coming to power again, Macron won a lot of elections because the people don't want Le Pen and the last election was that to.
Good breakdown 😊
What political shift. They are both centrist parties.
5:27 Did you see Gollum?
The Conservatives haven't listened to their voters in decades. The Tories have governed no differently than Labour when it comes to hot-button issues like immigration and environmental regulation. Their interminable unwilling Brexit has managed to achieve the worst of both worlds, enraging everybody across the political spectrum. Eventually, people will stop voting against the opposition when voting for their own party does not get them the policies they most want. Long-standing one party rule has a bad habit of insulating parties from the interests of their voters, no matter your political ideology.
To be able to claim counterfactuals as facts is the realm of idiots
In the US, we all thought Republicants were done after Bush Jr. Look what they came back with..... I hope for better for the UK.
Very informative video the content was great but the music is too intrusive during the transitions, something softer will be better

Kinda astounding how this video glosses over the most important factor: austerity politics aimed against working and the poorest people.

Yo, your donors might keep the lights on for now but without our eyes watching you'll be up a creek in no time. Peace!
As a British person, I deeply worry about the continuation of the UK. And I don't think labour is going to fix it. If our nation doesn't do something, our beautiful and kind country will rip itself apart.
Italy was destroyed when it joined the single currency !!(see graph) 😢We should have kept our lire - we could now have an easier Italexit!
Brexit split the UK and I don't mean electorally. It nullified the act of union making it a shell document for Northern Ireland as it is now governed by a foreign power.
At this point in history it is questionable whether individual nation state governments or aligned nation state associations are capable of restoring economic stability for the common good of all citizens. Has the power of capital and its direct demands on governments subverted the various flavors of democracy in developed countries by high powered lobbyists and $$$ thereby supplanting and muting the influence of the majority of the voting public? The USA elected Bush billionaire capitals as presidents twice. No need for lobbyists there. Is the nation state going to evolve in order to resolve the extreme problems in our societies? Is Global + AI governance the next paradigm? Hope the UK gets what it needs.

We are watching the death of a nation, sad really.
CBA watching the whole thing suffice to say most of this seems like you've been reading the Guardian too much. Our prices although raised up about 30% during Covid seem to have no suffered some of the rampant inflation that they've seen in the US and on the continent. The fact we're not in a recession and European countries keep teetering on the brink of it speaks volumes. Our export trade has grown, theirs has shrunk. The fact we're still buying stuff like avocados for 50p not $5 speaks volumes...
They didn't do that good. seats are useless in the sence reform got 5 seats but 4mil votes and lib dem got about 70ish seats but less voats than reform .Labour got about 11 mil
In my opinion, the very idea of Brexit was a bad one , and it was made worse by it being incompetently implemented.
Hope it does not end like in Germany, where in 2021 the (center) right was punished for years of "misconduct" - only to by this point be even more angry on the "labor"+green+liberal coalition.
Slight misinformation: the eu did not make it difficult to leave as a warning. The UK wanted concessions the eu could not give, and they perceived this as punishment when refused

Respectable? The pig poker?
I'm far more concerned of the total shit show that is coming here in November than what is happening across the pond in the UK.
I think at least on fiscal policies the overall point Labour is going to implement isn't going to be materially different from Tories had they managed to pull off
This is because there are a lot of checks on the government like office or budget responsibilities, media think tanks etc
Faces with the same.problems , same constraints and more or less the same tools then you arrive at a similar conclusion
In fact labour main pitch is competence and Starmer is already pleading for patient
I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing - the stability and some continuity even with change in government can be a good thing
Hope he makes a bit of change.
So basically same regime, but different face..
A centralist view is generally best for compromise. Both sides are unhappy but not outraged.
That’s issue in era of the internet and social media, the notion that my side is the correct way is delusional
