The U.K election has passed and we voted out the center right Conservatives rather than voting in the new Labour government so much, just 59% of the population voting. It was a rout for Labour. The pro Brexit voting mob split away from the main parties and set up their own party, Reform, getting a big chunk of votes but just 5 seats, our system not proportional representation. The Liberals got a fair few seats from just a 0.5% increase of their vote on 2019, a very unfair system. Joe Biden rang up Keir Starmer to welcome the new British PM: 'Congratulations Mr Churchill on your win'

I'm not really into politics. I don't trust any of the parties. I didn't vote. None of them are worth voting for. I wouldn't be surprised if he did!

Love your PM, I suppose he also called France to congratulate Mr De Gaulle on his win.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems you guys go through prime ministers like water over there. Every time I turn around there's a new one lately. lol
