A very good question, in the current crop of MP's I don't see any PM material including the Reform UK cohort

After the shenanigans of the Conservative party and all their prime ministers since 2010 is it time to reform the UKs constitution? Giving the prime minister more power or is that going down the road to a dictatorship?

Strong leadership is what’s needed in a PM. I have a feeling we might see that from Starmer with his large majority of MPs.  Starmer has the power to push through many changes, provided his backbenchers don’t rebel against him, as we have seen with the conservatives when in power.  God help us tho.

The strongest party rarely has the best person within it’s ranks.

Should we blame Reeves, maybe she will do many great things and we will all forget about this?

Is Reeves an ordinary person or a rich dude like Sunak?

He did well regarding the riots which ended quickly when he made sure arrests and swift justice happened. He needs to stop exaggerating about how bad the last government left things and stop the blame game for his own policy choices.
