STORY: "You voted for it, and now it has arrived. Change begins now."Britain's Labour Party won by a landslide in the country's parliamentary elections early on Friday, booting out the Conservative-led government after 14 years in power.Incoming prime minister Keir Starmer spoke of new beginnings in his victory speech."We said we would end the chaos, and we will, we said we would turn the page, and we have. Today, we start the next chapter, begin the work of change, the mission of national renewal and start to rebuild our country."Labour voters cheered as the party was projected to capture nearly two-thirds of the 650 seats in parliament.But Starmer comes to power facing a sluggish economy, creaking public services, and falling living standards.All of that played a part in the Conservatives' demise, with voters punishing them for a cost-of-living crisis as well as years of instability and in-fighting that saw five different prime ministers in office since the Brexit vote of 2016.The Conservatives were forecast to win just about 130 seats - the worst election performance in the party's history.Outgoing prime minister Rishi Sunak conceded Conservative defeat Friday morning, though he managed to keep his own seat in parliament."Today, power will change hands in a peaceful and orderly manner, with goodwill on all sides. That is something that should give us all confidence in our country's stability and future."The Conservatives also took a hit from the rise of the right wing, populist Reform UK party.Reform leader and Brexit campaigner Nigel Farage finally won a seat in parliament, after seven failed attempts over the years. His party captured four seats in total, and in parts of the country, they won more votes than the Conservatives.The surge in support for a populist alternative echoed similar results in Europe recently.But, unlike France, where the far-right National Rally party made historic gains in last Sunday's first-round elections......overall, the British public has thrown their weight behind a center-left party to bring about change.
