British opposition Labor party on the way to victory
The head of the "Mile End" Institute at the University of London described the unpopularity of the British Conservative Party as unprecedented and, pointing to the strengthening of the opposition Labor Party, assessed this party on the way to victory in the election year. |
According to the international group Tasnim news agency, Conservative Party Rishi Sonak, British Prime Minister in The critical election year of 2014 is not good and despite many efforts, the situation continues to deteriorate.
Patrick Diamond, head of the Mile End Institute at the University of London, who was in the last British Labor government from 2009 to 2010. He was the Head of the Planning Staff in the Prime Minister’s Office at 10 Downing Street in a conversation with the German newspaper “Tags Zeitung” and addressed this issue and regarding the recent victory of the opposition Labor Party in the recent mid-term elections, he said: the results of the mid-term elections The latest clearly shows that the Labor Party is on the way to victory. He emphasized: The unpopularity of conservatives is almost unprecedented, which is caused by the belief that they have harmed the economy. The Labor Party has become very strong inside the country.
He further answered the question of what similarities this period has with 1997, in which the Labor Party became very popular and won a historic victory. He said: I know that many people are thinking about whether we can expect a political earthquake like the one that happened in 1997. Today, unlike then, Labor must recover from its biggest defeat since the 1930s, which it suffered in the 2019 election. To win now, Labor needs to win contested constituencies with swing voters who are not certain to vote Labour. The sensitivities of these voters today lie on tax issues and economic policy. Starmer is very careful here, just like Blair was then.
He also said: “In some ways, Starmer is more extreme on the economy than Blair, as long as he has the freedom to act.” Foreign policy challenges such as Brexit and the current conflict in the Middle East must also be considered. The next by-election will be held in Rochdale on February 29 and Labor has been forced to withdraw its candidate over allegations of anti-Semitism. The party appears to be split between pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian views, but voters as a whole tend to take a more divergent stance. The leader of the opposition Labor Party faces a very different situation, with right-wing populists in power in parts of Europe and the Social Democrats not in a strong position. There is also the question of what will happen if Donald Trump wins the US presidential election. The danger for Kerr Starmer is that he will have to govern Britain in a situation where it feels isolated by not being in the EU. I think this will make him talk about the need for a deeper partnership with the European Union.
Not long ago, the British Conservative Party suffered a heavy defeat in two by-elections in England, and many ceded its seats to the opposition Labor Party.
Opposition Labor leader Kerr Starmer said the results showed Britain was “crying out for change. The next general election is expected in the autumn and should be held by January at the latest be held next year. Last Friday, the Labor Party asked the British Conservative government to hold these elections as soon as possible.
However, the situation for the Conservatives in England is extremely tense in an election year. The right wing The party’s fringes are particularly unhappy with Sunak, and on the right side of the party spectrum, another party, UK Reform, is now increasingly competing with the Tories.
