Political landscape shifted dramatically when power was centralized under those in charge; this is now evident through their banishment from influence and authority. This phenomenon can be seen with Sunak's failure due to Johnson's unstable electoral coalition formed around Brexit, a challenge that Starmer must address amidst the diverse interests within his party's new majority.
