British Prime Minister Keir Starmer may resign before the end of his term. According to the report of the British media “The Observer”, if everything goes well, he can submit his resignation letter tomorrow i.e. Monday. It is known that hundreds of MPs of the party are dissatisfied with Starmer’s work. Due to which he can remove from the responsibility.
According to British media sources, after discussions with cabinet members, advisers and trade union leaders, Starmer has decided that it is not possible for him to continue in the post. But according to a Reuters report, government sources rejected the claim, saying Starmer is still prime minister, saying the claim is baseless. But Reuters reports that more than 100 MPs from Starmer’s Labor Party have publicly said the Prime Minister should resign. These angry MPs represent almost a quarter of the party’s total seats in the House of Commons. As a result, Starmer’s farewell is waiting for time as the anger is rising. If he resigns, Starmer will become the sixth prime minister in Britain’s 10-year history to resign before completing his term. Previously, David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak have left the prime ministership before the end of their term.
Starmer was the mastermind behind the great victory of the Labor Party in Britain in 2024. However, after he assumed the post of Prime Minister, his popularity began to decline.
It should be noted that Starmer was the mastermind behind the great victory of the Labor Party in Britain in 2024. However, after he assumed the post of Prime Minister, his popularity began to decline. He failed to deliver on numerous controversies, policy changes and promises to improve living standards. This damaged Starmer’s image. Meanwhile, Starmer’s rival Andy Burnham won the by-election last Friday, increasing the pressure on the current prime minister. Those close to Burnham also joined in demanding Starmer’s resignation. Former health minister Wes Streeting has also begun to challenge Starmer’s leadership. Starmer said on June 19 in this serious situation, he is ready to face any challenge. He also urged the leaders of the Labor Party to avoid infighting.
But why so often the Prime Minister changes in Britain? According to experts, behind this is Britain’s parliamentary system. The Prime Minister is not directly elected by the people in the country. Rather, the Prime Minister is elected with the support of party MPs. A person holds the office of Prime Minister as long as the MPs support it. If MPs feel that a leader’s declining popularity could harm the party in the next election, they can start the process of electing a new leader without a general election. It is also very easy to remove the leader according to the party rules. In the Conservative Party, if 15 percent of MPs write a letter against a leader, a no-confidence motion can be brought against him. However, in the case of the Labor Party, this number is 20 percent. It is known that the number of angry MPs for the removal of Starmer here is much more than 20 percent.
