I've lost count of how many Prime Ministers the British devour.

[misaroorasim]

Maybe a bit of "boring" is exactly what we need. The last few years have been a joke 🤣.

[smohan]

Things can stop getting worse is the most British thing I've ever heard

[MZMA]

As long as he gets along with Larry the cat, he will be okay

[MotorwayGaming]

Why have I lived through 8 prime ministers and I’m not even 20 yet. 😭😭

He was clever enough to learnt the same lesson Tony Blair did, which is that most people in England are politically middle-of-the-road and if you want to win an election, tap into that. Now he has power it'll be interesting to see if he stays middle of the road. Also, the Tories lost this election a long time ago, all Keir had to do was look relatively normal and he was going to win LOL

I, for one, welcome the return of "boring" politicians as a standard for leadership.

[eelm]

think we can agree he is far better to run the country than some ex hedge fund manager multi millionaire

[JoaoGuilherme-orcf]

I think this guy will be one of those politicians that will stay in power for a long time. Won't be loved by anyone, but probably will not be hated.

This looks very familiar to Macron in France, first joined the socialist, then betrayed them to go more centrist, then gets elected, etc. I hope for the UK that the end of the story wont be the same...

[fanofsiu]

Now that you bring it up, Starmer does look a bit like the spitting image of Mark Darcy. LOL

[CUMBICA]

Not as hyped as when Tony Blair won but you see what's gonna be his reputation 10 years from now.

[SnoopyDoofie]

It's okay to change one's policies as long as the change is a result of re-assessing a situation and taking into account changing dynamics that make those changes necessary. Changing it however just to get votes is evil. Not sure where Starmer stands. Give him time. As long as he gets the job done and improves the UK's current situation, it doesn't matter whether he's a boring person. Being charismatic might be a benefit, but it's not what he's being elected for.

Angela Merkel was always boring. That's why we voted her into office 4 times.
What do you want on your government? Someone intelligent + boring who does the job or Boris Johnson?

[sudesue]

Congratulations the British people. They showed the politicians who is the boss. I hope we experience the same in Turkey.

[kimjongunmoresubsthant-ser]

That's why Leon Edwards has the most aesthetic physique

[hungo]

Keir Starmer might seem like a tedious crooked leader but at least he could bring about drastic changes to somehow revitalize Britain both economically and politically.

[jmack]

"things can stop getting worse" - that's absolutely fine by me.

[jo-lg.]

As an american, i would definately appreciate a boring politician.

[itsclassicbants]

Missing the point again, he wasn’t voted in, the conservatives voted out.
