The British newspaper The Guardian reported on the 16th that the recent performance of the British Labour Party in local elections was disappointing, further exposing the reputation issues that Starmer has long faced. However, the report pointed out that Starmer is not the only European leader facing a crisis of support. The report stated that while Starmer is indeed unpopular, the support rates of some other European leaders are even worse. Data from the statistics platform Statista shows that only 27% of people support Starmer, while 65% do not support him and 8% are undecided. It is worth noting that the situation of German Chancellor Merkel is even worse, with a support rate of 19% and a non-support rate of 76%; French President Macron's situation is also not optimistic, with a support rate of 18% and a non-support rate of 75%.
