Keir Starmer, the leader of the Labour Party, is currently leading in the polls with a 20-point lead and is a strong contender to become Britain's next prime minister in six weeks. Starmer has transformed the Labour Party from the divisive Corbyn years to a more centrist, Blair-esque stance, which has significantly boosted the party's fortunes. Despite being often described as dull, Starmer's leadership qualities, including his impressive CV and personal generosity, are being highlighted. Analysts suggest that while he is doing well in the polls, his character and image will be crucial in an election campaign. There are also discussions about his potential to rebalance Britain's rentier economy without causing an economic crisis, which would require considerable political imagination and vision.
