New British Prime Minister Starmer: "Change begins immediately"
Recently, State Head King Charles III. appointed the 61-year-old Starmer as the new Prime Minister and entrusted him with government formation. Before that, Charles accepted the resignation of the previous Prime Minister Rishi Sunak from the Conservative Tories.
Labour won 412 seats in the election and significantly more than the 326 seats required for an absolute majority in the House of Commons. The ruling Conservatives only managed to secure 121 seats, resulting in their worst performance in history. Sunak announced his resignation as party chairman.
- With his appointment, Prime Minister Starmer pledged to bring about a "New Great Britain," focusing on change and renewal.
- King Charles III. greeted Starmer at Downing Street, expressing his expectations for a successful premiership.
- In a statement, Starmer thanked King Charles for the opportunity and highlighted the need for a united Parliamentary election campaign.
- Despite the Tory Party's disappointing election results, Rishi Sunak remains as the leader of the Conservative Tories, though his future in politics remains uncertain.
- Starmer's election victory marks the end of a decade of Conservative rule and paves the way for major policy changes in Great Britain.
- Analysts suggest that Starmer's success underlines the public's yearning for change and a shift in political direction, as the '60s Prime Minister famously said, "the times they are a-changin'."
- The new Premier Starmer, reporting to King Charles at Buckingham Palace, is expected to form a cabinet and present his first Queen's Speech to Parliament in the near future.
