Sir Keir Starmer will be the next British Prime Minister

The much valued exit poll published by the BBC projects that the Labour Party has won the anticipated landslide victory with a majority of 170 (on a total number of 410 seats), falling just shy of beating the record set by Tony Blair in 1997 who had a majority of 179 seats. The Conservatives fell to their lowest number of seats in their history with an estimated 131 seats.

The Liberal Democrats will take over the position of third largest party from the SNP (with respectively projected tallies of 61 and 10). This will be a big disappointment for the SNP who are paying the price in Scotland for the financial scandal that has plagued them in the recent past as well as changes in their leadership, not to mention that they also have suffered from being in power for many years (since 2007 first as a minority government and then subsequently as a majority government) and the Scottish electorate felt that is was time for a change and wanted to ensure that Labour would get as big a majority as possible. The far-right Party "the Reform Party" led by arch-Brexiteer Nigel Farage has surpassed expectations with a projected 13 seats with Nigel Farage finally entering the Westminister Parliament as a MP after seven unsuccessful previous attempts. He will surely be a thorn in what is left of the Conservative Party who will quickly be seeking a new leader. Farage may be tempted to join the Conservative Party given his success in today's poll. But the big winner is of course Sir Keir Starmer who in addition to his knighthood has now become Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland. The party will definitely go on all night long in the Labour ranks but Starmer will be under no illusions as he knows that the hard work is just starting and that even before the final bottle of champagne has been drunk, he will have to prove to the British public that his new government will be able to not only deliver what was promised (which was very cuatious) but moreover exceed expectations.
