The final votes in Britain's parliamentary elections are still being counted, but one thing is crystal clear: After 14 years in power, the Conservative Party is out.
More than that: It’s been thoroughly punished by the British public, reduced to barely 120 seats, the party’s worst result in it’s history.
Several prominent figures — including former Prime Minister Liz Truss — lost their seats.
While other European countries are experiencing a rise in right-wing populism, Britain has rallied behind the centrist and sensible Labour Party and its centrist and sensible leader, Keir Starmer, who becomes prime minister.
