Why is the Starmer to Burnham transition so long?
Like St Augustine, the assumed new Labour leader appears to want to be prime minister — but not yet
TL;DR
- Keir Starmer is the assumed new Labour leader.
- There is a potential for a prolonged leadership transition.
- Starmer may be seen as a placeholder, with another leader in mind for the future.
- The situation is likened to St. Augustine's desire for power but not immediately.
