Labour Party Wins Landslide Victory in U.K. Elections
The British Labour Party won a landslide victory in the recent U.K. general elections, placing the party’s leader, Sir Keir Starmer, as the country’s first Labour Prime Minister in 14 years. What shifts in policy can we expect in the U.K. government with this transfer of power? In this episode of “Taiwan Talks,” we examine the Labour Party’s China policy, Starmer’s stance on U.S. elections, and how the U.K. might attempt to balance U.S.-China relations. Furthermore, we discuss the Labour Party’s position on Taiwan, U.K.-Taiwan relations, and whether Starmer’s past engagement with civil societies in the country may boost U.K. support. Our guests are: Leonard Chao - National Tsing Hua University Adjunct Professor Tsai Jung-hsiang - National Chung-Cheng University Political Science Professor Marcin Jerzewski - European Values Center for Security Policy Taiwan Office Head
