Europe’s socialists are kicking themselves that Keir Starmer’s party is no longer around.
BRUSSELS — In an alternate universe, Keir Starmer ’s U.K. Labour Party could be about to play a huge role in the EU.
Corbett reckons that over half of all U.K. MEPs in this situation — which he made clear was “very hypothetical” — would be Labour. “There had been talk prior to Brexit that it was coming round to Labour’s to having one of these big jobs,” said Corbett. A stronger showing for the Socialists, boosted by the Brits, could also have influenced the broader discussion on handing out the three most powerful EU jobs — the presidencies of the European Commission and European Council, along with the EU’s foreign affairs chief. Currently, those three roles are likely to be distributed between the center-right, socialists and liberals.
