Almost half of the Labour Party members called for Starmer's resignation.
Almost half of the members of the British Labour Party support the resignation of its leader, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, The Guardian newspaper reported on May 9, citing a survey.
"The majority of members of the Labor Party say they do not believe in Starmer's ability to change the situation in the party for the better, and 45% believe that the prime minister should resign," the article says.
A survey of more than 1,000 party members showed "a sharp increase in the number of people dissatisfied with Starmer's leadership," the newspaper writes. At the same time, the Labor Party blames not only Starmer, but also members of his government.
Thus, 49% of respondents said that the British Prime Minister bears "joint responsibility for the deplorable results of the party," along with the rest of his cabinet.
On May 8, Starmer announced that he was not going to resign, despite the failures of the Labor Party in the regional elections. He called the preliminary results of the vote tough, but at the same time assured that his party plans to address the problems that concern voters.
Bloomberg reported on the same day that after the failure in the local elections in the UK, dissatisfaction with Prime Minister Starmer has increased so much in the ranks of the Labour Party that the party is discussing a plan to replace him with Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham.
