Fun fact: during each transition of power for around 15 minutes legally speaking the monarch is the absolute ruler of the country

I think you should've elaborated a bit more on the Tories' downfall. Basically when Cameron became prime minister in 2010 his main policy was the 2008 financial crisis. He decided austerity measures was how he would deal with it (whereas other countries increased spending) since then many issues have appeared such as the massive increase in NHS waiting lists and schools _literally falling apart_ (Ive also heard some hospitals are falling apart as well, but im still unsure if that is true) theres also the cost of living crisis and the housing crisis where everything got really expesnsive.` edit: oh and silly me, i forgot to mention all the scandals as well.

Phenomenal. One book on UK politics that is an absolute must-read is "Why we get the wrong politicians" by Isabel Hardman. It explains so many of the intricate workings of parliament and how legislation actually gets passed, how what politicians want versus what their constituents want, and the various flaws. It also explains the basic workings of the UK government. It's basically all the knotty inner-politiking of the Carro Johnson books in one book in a British context and a third the size. You'll love it. Great video as always.

1:53 "some commentators" are wrong. EVERY general election is voted on with the leader very much in mind. With a handful of exceptions, people generally vote for the party rather than MP, and arguably they always have.

7:06 honestly imaging naming your child after someone in history you like. I should do that with my child, there was a German leader with a cool name.

Great vid! As a Brit (and fellow former Kanye fan) always love your videos. One thing I would say was the importance of tactical voting in this election. The Liberal Democrats got their best ever result, largely because Labour voters in seats they couldn’t win backed the Lib Dems, and vice versa. This was definitely an ABC election (Anyone But Conservatives). Labour winning a landslide on just over 1/3rd of the vote, shows how effective their targeting was, but not necessarily a wave of enthusiasm. The best quote I’ve seen is Labour support is ‘a mile wide, but an inch deep’. Still, it’s incredible to see the Conservatives suffer their worst result since 1761.

I can’t wait to see this channel become huge. Then I can brag about being an og fan

NEW ANDRE DUTRA VIDEO????? HELL YEAH

Why don’t you have more subscribers? You always do a great job!

Based on Labour’s recent results, it seems they were able to pull nearly as broad support as the New Deal coalition here did in the 1930s, minus the white Southerner bloc here (not sure there’s really an analogous counterpart in the UK, they’d probably vote Reform if there were). In our case, the Democrats made it fine as a “big tent” party until about the 1960s. If not for Vietnam and the RFK assassination, I wonder if they could have held on for longer (though civil rights would have still posed a challenge to this coalition).

I’m just obsessed with presidential history now and I love that your videos feed my obsession

Hey did you know his dad was a toolmaker perchance?

I see Mr. Beat’s book in the background! I just ordered my own copy, can’t wait to crack it open :)

Here’s some more context for the PMs for those looking for it David Cameron brought in austerity, which proved an unpopular measure and benefitted the rich disproportionately. He had some socially liberal reforms, however, such as gay marriage May was a remainer who had to carry out leave, and her alliance with the ultra conservative dup meant her Brexit deal kept getting blocked Johnson was a right wing populist with a background of scandals. He was a bit like Nixon in that regard, and also like Nixon, he broke into traditional opposition areas. His three years proved contraversial, especially with his hateful statements, he resigned in disgrace after breaking his own lockdown rules, and appointing a known sex offender to be his party whip. Truss took the reigns backed by big business. She very clearly wanted to be the next thatcher, despite thatchers legacy coming under fire as the negative effects are seen as time goes on. She implemented long disproven Reaganomics against professional advice, which crashed the economy, causing her to resign in disgrace Sunak’s year and a bit in power was never able to recover from the Tory scandals. He never had the backing of his whole party, the right and the Center of his party often bickering. His millionaire background made him seem out of touch during a cost of living crisis. All contributed to labours victory Where are they now? Cameron went to the House of Lords, a bit like the senate, except it’s unelected, and some titles are hereditary. His one wasn’t, though. He was appointed. He was in Sunaks cabinet for a bit. May didn’t stand for another term as an MP in 2024, after quite a long career. Johnson resigned as an MP following yet another scandal before the 2024 election. Also in Nixon style he claimed a witch-hunt. Truss lost her seat as an MP in the 2024 election, and refused to make a speech conceding her loss. She’ll probably turn up in the states campaigning for trump given her gigs at CPAC. Sunak won his seat in 2024, but said he will resign as tory party leader once a replacement has been found.

Great video! I’d add for the Labour Party - whilst Corbyn was popular in many cities, Starmer’s moderate policies were geared much more towards moderate constituencies, and he coordinated with the Liberal Democrat’s in marginal seats, which prevented the kind of left-wing vote splitting that has really hurt them recently. He also very visibly cracked down on antisemitism in Labour, which helped draw a line under Corbyn who never even acknowledged the antisemitism reports findings. While Starmer got a lesser vote percentage in traditional Labour heartlands, his support was spread exceptionally wide. Labour also got lucky with the Scottish National party imploding earlier in the year, which essentially gave them another 36 seats as well!

Can you pls maybe do the recent South African🇿🇦 election and the subsequent Government of National Unity?🙏🏻

I think that is important, as you said, to say that Labour got a fewer proportion of the votes compared to the last election in which they lost. It shows there was no real enthusiasm for Labour’s government, but instead complete distaste for the conservatives.

A fairly unbiased video (as someone who detests Starmer and Sunak). Good job!! from Britain!

Jeremy Corbyn deserved more coverage than just “the previous guy” and his purge from the party. Dude was the Labour opposition leader through 3 Tory leaders, received more votes then Starmer did and managed to retain his seat as an independent thanks to grassroots community support. Starmer is also a shift towards the corporate wing of the Labour Party from Corbyn’s community focused left-wing faction. Fine video but expected more after the Brazil video.

Would you please considering doing South African Politics next 🇿🇦 ?

you should do a video on president ford

I hope the UK can recover🙏

Any chance you could explain what the heck is going on in France (Great video btw)

Labour's nationalising energy

considering recent events a video analyzing how life threatening emergencies or outright death affects American elections.

I followed this election deeply

he is missing the reason why UK had chaotic period of changing PM. explanation of Partygate which led Boris to resign and economic disaster that caused Lizz Truss to resign, and water crisis, and NHS crisis and other issues. this video is too simple, lacking a lot of information.

Not besides the point
