Where Labour must hope to win the next parlamentvalg, should the party seek towards the middle.
Keir Starmer was elected as chairman of the british labour party the Labour party, because he is the most experienced politician of the three candidates, that was back in the fight for the presidency.
It assesses the Ole Helmersen, who is an associate professor at CBS, with specialty in british politics.
– He has been seen as the one who can unite the party again and maybe get laid the new midterpolitiske course, as the party desperately needs if it is to be the governing party, says Ole Helmersen.
With 56 percent of the vote beat Keir Starmer Rebecca Long – Bailey and Lisa Nandy in the fight for the presidency.
According to Ole Helmersen will the new leader will try to get the party further towards the political centre, as it is necessary, if the party must win the next parliamentary elections.
– It is the voters in the middle that determines elections.
– There are not many european countries, where a sharp left or right, who are in power, he says.
It is, however, a difficult project that Starmer should be in charge of, believe Helmersen.
Prime minister Boris Johnson from The Conservative Party has massive support in the population, although he took on the role to get the country a brexit-agreement, as well as to get Britain through the current coronakrise.
in Addition, the Labour party, according to Ole Helmersen far from in a position where they can win a general election.
He rejects, however, is not that it can succeed Keir Starmer to win.
– Tony Blair and Gordon Brown managed to draw a midtersøgende course and kept in power for 13 years, he says.
After the publication of Saturday’s elections, commented the new leader of the party’s future policy.
– Under my leadership we will engage constructively with the government.
– We will not score party-political points, or make impossible demands, says Keir Starmer, according to the british newspaper the Independent.
Ole Helmersen believe that the Starmers opinion must be viewed in light of the current coronakrise.
– But when it is over, he will not just wag for the government, but to try to draw a different course, otherwise it becomes håblåst to be in the opposition, he says.
