The May 7 UK midterm election results were genuinely historic. For the first time, nationalist parties that would like to see their countries leave the UK are now in power in all three “devolved” legislatures in Cardiff (Plaid Cymru/PC), Edinburgh (Scottish Nationalist Party/SNP) and also Northern Ireland (Sinn Fein). However, the framing of the May 7 results in recent days has centered much more around how exceptionally poor they were for the UK’s governing Labour Party led by Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
