ABSTRACT:In the 2019 British general election, the ruling Conservative Party won by a landslide, while the main Opposition, Labor Party, suffered a tragic defeat which is the fourth consecutive failure. Labor Party’s leader Corbin has announced his resignation. Corbin and the leadership of the Labor Party are certainly to blame for the four consecutive defeats, but Rome is not built in one day. The great trend of the globalization of capitalism and the profound changes in the British social structure are the deep-seated reasons for the four consecutive defeats of the Labor Party.
