7 Premierminister in 10 Jahren: Warum Großbritannien seine Regierungschefs verschleißt

00:00:04: I thank them again today and the British people for their opportunity to serve.

00:00:12: I go with good grace, a smile... ...and proud of everything we have achieved!

00:00:20: Thank you very much.

00:00:22: In doing so i am acutely conscious

00:00:26: that

00:00:26: I'm the sixth person

00:00:29: in

00:00:29: ten years to walk up this street the seventh Prime Minister since twenty sixteen.

00:00:38: Making this a moment for reflection and new resolution, it requires my generation of politicians to raise our game And rise To The New Challenge.

00:00:57: Britain needs to show the world that we can regain Our stability once again, and that is our challenge to make politics work.

00:01:11: England at its best!

00:01:13: The big Brit pod

00:01:16: with Alexander Klaus Stecher and

00:01:18: Klaus Belling.

00:01:21: Klaus was the English Prime Minister number six and number seven.

00:01:26: Seven prime ministers in ten.

00:01:28: For years, I had to count it twice.

00:01:31: There were some English football clubs with more content on the coach's bench.

00:01:34: And this is expected in a country

00:01:35: that we have always admired as muster students of stability at the mother of all parliaments and now almost constantly turning door into the Downing Street number ten!

00:01:48: Because

00:01:49: on July the twentieth of this year there was again so far morning street Kirstarmer before the black door said goodbye Andi

00:02:06: Burnham.

00:02:07: Yes, exactly that irritates many of our listeners because the new premiere was not chosen by people.

00:02:13: He wasn't even chosen in a battle vote for his party.

00:02:16: He was at the end of his only candidate.

00:02:20: Today we'll tell you how it all happened, like a premiere with the biggest majority for decades after just two years of being destroyed by their own people and why England is the country of so-called governments suddenly looks as... well I don't want to say banana republic but let's say Italy in its wildest years.

00:02:40: Welcome

00:02:41: today on a bread pod with political history And Alex, for the subject of seven closed Prime Ministers in ten years.

00:02:48: Let's hear what Robert Pesten said again.

00:02:53: The political chief correspondent from well-known TV-sender ITV one of the most experienced political journalists

00:03:01: of

00:03:01: the country.

00:03:03: We are now one of these ridiculous countries that are unable

00:03:08: to produce a stable government.

00:03:10: Have you heard this Klaus?

00:03:12: Laughily and that from the mouth of a Briton over Great Britain.

00:03:16: That is already an announcement, I would

00:03:18: say.".

00:03:18: Before

00:03:18: we get into history, Alex, let's take a short break because in Germany you think... Premier Minister, as a Bundeskanzler is elected by the parliament.

00:03:28: And

00:03:28: in Great Britain the prime minister has not been elected, neither from the people nor from Parliament.

00:03:34: No!

00:03:34: The king always appoints those who have the trust of the sub-house and that's practically always the head of the majority party.

00:03:43: That means if you exchange a party president with them they automatically also exchange the Prime Minister without a new election.

00:03:51: That's not Putsch, that is the system.

00:03:54: And it isn't quite new either.

00:03:55: Listrasse, Rishi Sunak, Boris Johnson and Theresa May have all come to our office with a legislative period through an easy change at the party point.

00:04:07: Exactly there lies The Haken.

00:04:08: A Prime Minister in England sits only for so long as he has

00:04:21: the trust of

00:04:28: his party.

00:04:30: If they are ordered to fear their own seats then pressure will be changed.

00:04:39: So four prime ministers in three decades and now seven in one decade.

00:04:47: List Trust reminds us all of the famous salad head.

00:04:50: Oh yes,

00:04:51: exactly!

00:04:51: A British newspaper at that time tested live-streamed if List Trust lasts longer than a head salad until it goes in and you hardly believe it, the salad has won.

00:05:02: Five

00:05:02: out of seven previous premiers were conservative by the way And political scientists around the world agree.

00:05:10: The origin for this chaos is actually in Brexit.

00:05:14: The parties were so deeply torn over Europe that no Tory Prime Minister could hold a stable majority.

00:05:21: And then

00:05:23: the cash situation comes, first Brexit, then Corona and then the energy crisis.

00:05:27: The money was scarce, the hospitals were overloaded... ...the boys had the feeling to be the first generation who would go worse than their own parents.

00:05:36: The

00:05:36: British historian Anthony Selden, who wrote the biography of John Major for all the prime ministers has another interesting point.

00:05:44: Many came in the evening too young or too inexperienced, he said.

00:05:49: Boris Johnson thought that he could lead the country like before London as mayor and Theresa May wanted to lead number ten just like her inner ministry.

00:05:59: And exactly this case.

00:06:01: Sir Kierstahmer was also killed And that's actually the most amazing thing about this whole story.

00:06:06: Starmar didn't come as an emergency solution.

00:06:08: in July of year two thousand and twenty-four, he had faked the conservatives for fourteen years out of his office with a vast majority of one hundred seventy-two seats – a true triumph!

00:06:20: But…and you will like to forget it...with only around thirty three point seven percent of all votes The British majority has made two thirds of the vote from one third of their votes power and that was a wide, but very shallow majority.

00:06:35: But the enthusiasm

00:06:36: did not last long.

00:06:38: Already in November of year two thousand twenty-five his vote was at minus forty six percent points.

00:06:45: According to inquiries he has been with the most incredible premier since the beginning of the signing of nineteen hundred seventy seven.

00:06:53: And then the scandal came which brought him the pleasure Peter Mendelsen, an original English politician and has been a star in the United States for many years.

00:07:03: But suddenly there were rumors that Mendelsohn was supposed to have had a close connection with the convicted sexual perpetrator Jeffrey Epstein which is why he had to leave his own party on media pressure this February.

00:07:24: This brought Kirstammer here for the first time into the Wanken.

00:07:28: But

00:07:29: Stammer was still there!

00:07:30: Before his faction, he said he had won every battle that he ever led.

00:07:38: As a right-wing lawyer who once was, it is already possible

00:07:41: to be so.

00:07:42: But the observers were different.

00:07:43: Chris Mason,

00:07:44: e.g.,

00:07:44: the political chief editor of the famous BBC wrote on this day in social media How long has the Prime Minister still been a hero, is an currently justified

00:07:56: and open question?

00:07:57: Then there was his turn that almost looks like it's from a movie.

00:08:00: Andy Burnham, former mayor of Greater Manchester and for quite some time now the most popular Labour politician in the country wanted to go back into Parliament was a choice in the Urchin, Gordon and Denton.

00:08:13: And he simply didn't

00:08:13: let him lead the party.

00:08:15: The Executive Committee of the Labour Party refused his candidacy.

00:08:21: With fatal consequences!

00:08:23: In February this year, the green candidate Henners-Benzer, Labour, landed on square three.

00:08:30: And Spencer said behind himself against Burnham would have been much more difficult for her.

00:08:35: So

00:08:36: there you had the only man who could really win the election from fear of being left out in front of him, so that's politics like at William Shakespeare's time.

00:08:45: Then

00:08:45: came the seventh of May, two thousand and twenty-six.

00:08:48: Communal elections in England, parliament elections in Scotland and Wales.

00:08:53: For Labour it became a debate because they have over thirty five so called councils lost.

00:09:02: a thousand and five hundred public speeches.

00:09:06: Highly calculated in England, according to BBC, there were only about seventeen percent of labour.

00:09:11: This ended the labour dominance in these areas after around one-hundred years.

00:09:15: The winner was, among other things, the party Reform UK of the EU, I would say Hussars, Nigel Farage who had actually broken into Brexit at that time.

00:09:26: He also had an interview with the Irran, saying he wanted to stay in number ten downing street for ten years and will fight against his challenger.

00:09:34: On May eleventh there was a big talk that the Guardian called him as their last chance.

00:09:40: Inevitably, he said... ...he didn't run away from it nor enter into the course because of political weather.

00:09:47: Unfortunately this did not

00:09:48: work out at all!

00:09:49: On the same day around eighty people were required to organize a time plan for his departure.

00:09:56: On the next day, four state ministers returned, including Jazz Phillips, Secretary of State for Opferschutz and Violence Against Women.

00:10:05: And on May the fourth, the Pauken schlag.

00:10:08: Health Minister Wes Treating, one who is heavyweight in the cabinet, throws it away.

00:10:13: In his retreat writing he says that it would be dishonest and principle-free to stay in the cabinet.

00:10:20: And on

00:10:20: that same day, and now it's time for Schach zu Klaus, a young man named Josh Simons is appointed as the commander of Mankerfield-Nieder, with only one purpose – to make space for Andy Burnham, the former mayor of Manchester who can become Prime Minister if he had a place at the appointed house.

00:10:49: This seat makes him free from his own backstabbing.

00:10:57: an unbelievable progress.

00:11:00: Brutal!

00:11:01: and to be honest, but without every political

00:11:04: tip of the finger how you were otherwise used in England.

00:11:09: And whether

00:11:10: that's not enough, on June the eleventh also brings back Defense Minister John Healy from protests against too little defense.

00:11:21: In the middle of a time during

00:11:26: the Russian-Iranian War Europe in Adamalten.

00:11:33: And then,

00:11:38: Burnham got almost twenty-five thousand votes.

00:11:47: About

00:11:48: fifty percent more than

00:12:00: nine thousand two hundred votes.

00:12:12: The question my party is asking now is whether I am best placed to lead us into the next.

00:12:22: That's why I turned as a chairman of the Labour Party back.

00:12:42: Today, I informed King

00:12:45: about this.

00:12:46: At the end of his speech, when he thanked his wife Victoria, by the way, her voice

00:12:51: breaks.

00:12:51: A very, very human moment!

00:12:57: And a bitter moment, Klaus, because critics immediately remembered that as the conservative people in year two thousand and twenty-two, Trustig Rishishtsunag has decided to demand this Khirsdama.

00:13:08: There needs to be new elections since such

00:13:13: a change is

00:13:17: not a democratic mandate.

00:13:22: Yes now

00:13:24: the same rules only come around differently.

00:13:34: Exactly This is a proud moment you have given me and my family today, an emotional one.

00:13:41: You gave me and my family a proud moment today, and an emotional one.

00:13:47: But I'm ready!

00:13:47: I am ready to lead them on the foundation that has been laid out by Kiers Dahmer.

00:13:56: Among him we have come from our worst downfall into one of the greatest victories

00:14:09: in history.

00:14:10: Keer has the ability to change people's lives again.

00:14:13: And that is exactly what we have done in these last

00:14:16: two years.

00:14:16: It's interesting, isn't it?

00:14:17: The man whose election campaign was called Stammer muss weg, lobed him at the day of his victory in the highest tones.

00:14:25: That

00:14:25: is the British way, Alex!

00:14:26: First crash and then kill.

00:14:30: Very British, I would even say.

00:14:32: And Pesten wrote quite a bit back then that some critics were hoping for an un-tested candidate who could escape as Nite in the Wundertüte and then

00:14:40: the twentieth of July.

00:14:42: Morgensstarma last time before the door and he once again defends his whole balance without every trace of bitterness.

00:14:51: In six and half years i took our party from a historic defeat.

00:14:55: In six and

00:14:57: a half years, I have changed our party from a historic defeat in the year of two thousand nineteen so that it could return to the country again.

00:15:06: And in twenty-four years an earthquake has been brought about.

00:15:09: Since then my life was the privilege of serving you as Prime Minister on this great land.

00:15:17: I am convinced that Great Britain is stronger today than two years ago.

00:15:23: The economy is stronger now.

00:15:26: The waiting times for health care are as strong as seven

00:15:39: And our international reputation is greatly enhanced.

00:15:44: And now, since I

00:15:53: will continue

00:15:54: the Stafelsstab at Andy Burnham, I wish him all success.

00:15:59: He has

00:16:01: full support

00:16:02: for me!

00:16:02: And then the journey to Buckingham Palace – the audience in König-Tschar's and briefly on top of that is Burnham before Downings Feed number ten.

00:16:09: By the way without Riedner Pult only with two microphones on a standar which was quite something new but still very conscious and pretentious.

00:16:17: And he says what you rarely heard from an old Prime Minister in England.

00:16:22: I know people at home who don't

00:16:24: listen.

00:16:24: I hear you, and I want to be honest with you.

00:16:28: We were not good enough so we have to

00:16:33: get better And that's

00:16:34: what we will do.

00:16:35: I think it is worth noting Alex, he apologizes for his own party on the first day.

00:16:43: We'll

00:16:43: make this moment a circuit

00:16:46: breaker and bring forward the biggest changes with the biggest changes for forty years.

00:16:53: A new political model or a

00:16:57: new economic model.

00:16:59: Circuit Breaker, this is actually the security in the powerhouse.

00:17:04: so it means jumping out, breaking the circle and starting again.

00:17:07: And he has turned his cabinet quite radically.

00:17:09: The biggest surprise is that John Healy, the former Minister of Defense at the time in June, had turned his back on him.

00:17:18: Now he's going to be

00:17:19: a judge.

00:17:20: In his first court hearing, he goes through the door and gives instructions whether homelessness will end up on the street in England or give out more than three hundred forty million pounds extra.

00:17:30: And the next day, he spreads the global tax on household electricity.

00:17:35: That was about forty-five pounds of savings.

00:17:38: He wants to bring power

00:17:39: from London into the region, with a number ten north in Manchester.

00:17:45: The people in the North love it!

00:17:47: The financial markets are looking more nervous.

00:17:50: The big question

00:17:51: is if Clauss is Burnham's man who holds up the door of revolution or just the next one that goes through

00:17:57: him?

00:17:57: The former Tory-ordered DeChance Walker described this in the Time magazine very well.

00:18:02: It simply isn't money... Burnham can't do his job without becoming illiterate.

00:18:09: And as

00:18:09: soon as he is illiterated, he will be afraid of his subordinates for their sake.

00:18:12: and then the whole game

00:18:15: starts again.

00:18:15: But many experts see him also a chance.

00:18:18: Burnham could however be the first government chief in a large western democracy which is clearly represented by the forgotten regions and the anger of people there to put it in the centre again.

00:18:31: If he only has a little success, that could actually be an example for other

00:18:36: countries.".

00:18:37: At the end

00:18:38: of October his first household will come, at least late in August of year.

00:18:41: two thousand twenty-nine must then be properly elected and then decide for the very first time really the English voters over Andy Burnham also as Prime Minister.

00:18:50: And

00:18:50: Kirstama?

00:18:51: He also lowered his subordinate mandate on September the first.

00:18:56: Now he wants to take care of international issues and his family.

00:19:00: I think Klaus is actually British in this whole story, so chaotically that's all it takes!

00:19:06: The transition always runs off at once – one goes with a stop, another comes along with demote And finally there will be a cup of tea together with the king.

00:19:14: England

00:19:15: at its best.

00:19:16: Also after the crisis, Alex could be said.

00:19:19: That was Britport for today.

00:19:21: By the way, please write to us in one of our show notes,

00:19:24: e.g.,

00:19:24: on Spotify or in the Apple App – whatever you hear about what you think it is!

00:19:29: Is this democratic that a premier can get into office without any choice?

00:19:34: In the middle of an legislation period?

00:19:36: Or exactly where?

00:19:37: I even want the strength from British

00:19:39: systems?!

00:19:39: We are excited And we'll stay tuned to Andy Burnham.

00:19:43: Sooner or later, if we have to tell him that there will be the next Prime Minister number eight in Great Britain.

00:19:49: Hopefully not too soon!

00:19:50: Cheerio!

00:19:52: Cheerios

00:19:56: and see you again next time!

00:20:07: Thank you and see you in the next episode of England Edits Fest, The Big Brit Pot!
