Keir Starmer is all but certain to become the next prime minister of Britain, after an exit poll projected that his Labour Party would win a <\/span>parliamentary elections in a landslide on Thursday. <\/p>\n

The exit poll, which accurately predicted the winner of the last five British general elections, indicated late Thursday that Labour was on course to win a commanding majority of seats in the British House of Commons. That would mean Mr. Starmer would replace Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who took office less than two years ago.<\/p>\n

Mr. Starmer, a 61-year-old former human rights lawyer, has led a remarkable turnaround for the Labour Party, which just a few years ago suffered its worst election defeat since the 1930s. He has pulled the party to the political center<\/a> while capitalizing on the failings of three Conservative prime ministers.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has been ferociously \u2014 some would say tediously \u2014 boring in his discipline,\u201d Jill Rutter, a research fellow at the London research group U.K. in a Changing Europe, told The New York Times recently<\/a>. \u201cHe\u2019s not going to set hearts racing, but he does look relatively prime-ministerial.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
