If the UK had preferential voting as we have, the result would have been much closer.
The BLP increased its vote by only 2% and received a total vote lower than the Jeremy Corbyn-led BLP in 2017 and 2019.
Starmer also had a poor result in his own electorate.
Like Albanese, Starmer was wedged on AUKUS and supports this absurdity.
Voters in both the UK and Australia are turning away from the tired old two party system.
One striking feature of the election was the collapse of the Tory vote by 24%. It confirms the old adage that Oppositions seldom win elections. It is Governments that lose them, as happened in Australia at the last election.
UK voters rejected the Conservatives for numerous reasons, but they were lukewarm about Labour.
This voter turn off was also reflected in the low voter turnout which at 59% was the lowest in 20 years and the second lowest since 1885.
