Stealing is not the same as winning.
Most countries in the West including even the corrupt Biden regime refused to recognize that Maduro won that election.
As we speak, Trump has a massive naval amarda off the coasts of Venezuela and Trump has put a price on the delivery of Maduro.
Second, the UK is not Venezuela.
You should know that. Starmer can't steal elections there.
We'll see what happens in four years from now.
And got the nomination stolen from him in 2024 after he'd won it.
It wasn't illegal. It just made them look bad because they claimed to be for "democracy".
