After 14 years of chaotic Conservative rule, this time tomorrow will most probably see a new Labour government. The only question that remains open is the size of the much expected Labour majority. If Rishi Sunak is somehow able to prove everybody wrong then it would most probably be the miracle of all miracles and Sunak would be the father of all "comeback" kids. But it isn't over until the fat lady sings. Nonetheless if the polls are right she is already singing a requiem for the Conservative Party. The incoming Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, if he is indeed elected, will not have an easy task and will have the shortest honeymoon period of all prime ministers. The vote today is an overwhelming anti-Tory vote and not a pro-Labour vote per se and Starmer will have to earn the trust of the electorate. His declarations have been dare I say - very conservative for a Labour politician and he cannot afford to disappoint by being too careful.
