      UK is the new Italy of Europe.
      A political madhouse, and ruining their own economy with stupidity.

      Truly, it’s getting hard to keep up! Have any of them shown promise? From across the pond it seems like a clown parade

        Yeah some of them have shown promise. Burnham does. Even Starmer showed promise.
        It’s the problem that they seem to turn into zombies as soon as they get into power that’s the problem. Let’s see what happens with this next one.

      Honestly that i think is the strong point of Westminster system, they have the power to force PM to resign and they exercised it. Once they have a vote of no confidence the PM must resign, and if the vote is called by the governing party, it’s almost always lead to that, barring a faction of the rulling party colluding with the opposition to make sure the PM stay.

      American are stuck with Orange.

        Votes of no confidence are in a government, not a leader, and are done by Parliament, not the individual parties. That’s not how Starmer will be replaced. It’ll be an internal Labour Party leadership challenge process.

          I don’t know how starmer will be replaced, but that is one way to oust a PM and can be done if they failed to make him quit.
