Opinion: P.M., Starmer: It's time to go

(CHESTERTOWN, MD) – Some will say that there is dignity in failure (I would like to think this as well) And, 'failure', that’s what Prime Minister Keir Starmer, of the United Kingdom, has done in government.

Much like the previous President of the United States, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., Keir Starmer has failed to effectively govern the nation that he claims to want to help. 

For what it’s worth, I don’t think that Starmer has been doing so out of malice, but it is doubtful that his government will be able to bring Britain any good, things certainly don’t look like they’re getting better under his leadership, and his party is doing even worse. 

Labour, by most poll’s measures, are in fourth place right now. Behind the insurgent eco-socialist Green Party, led by Zack Polanski, behind the extreme-right Reform UK, who lead in most polls, and behind their traditional rivals, the Conservative & Unionist Party, who find themselves mostly in third place. 

No matter what your politics are, or which party you’d prefer in government, it should be very clear to you that Keir Starmer is not the man to lead the Labour Party into the next general election. In 2024 immediately after the general election, Jeremy Corbyn, said that Keir Starmer has won a “loveless landslide”, and even if that wasn’t true then, whatever semblance of love that there once was from Britain to Starmer now has fully evaporated, as has been widely previously reported by others, polling places Starmer behind Polanski in favorability ratings, behind Farage is competence ratings, and frankly, Britain is bored of Starmer. 

Whether or not the Prime Minster should resign for his own sake, is sort-of beyond the point: he has failed his people, his ministers are calling for him to go, and it’s better to think about, Where Do We Go From Here, rather than: what can we do to keep Kier Starmer?

Our own analysis of polling using proprietary spreadsheets and the like, puts a 50% chance of Reform UK winning the next general election, and Starmer's party an only 10 percent chance of the same. Labour are not going to win by small, centrist, and disaffected actions. The time for change is now. Take it from the Mayor of New York City, who this author personally campaigned for by phonebanking: optimism, and hope, are back in black.
