Britain votes resoundingly for Boris Johnson
The Conservative Party records its largest seat haul since 1987
Britain’s general election has delivered a stunning result that few had anticipated. The Conservative Party, headed by Boris Johnson, the prime minister, has won 364 seats with one left to declare. That easily surpasses the 326 required for an outright majority in Parliament. Mr Johnson will now enjoy a comfortable majority to “get Brexit done”—in other words, to pass the withdrawal agreement that he negotiated with European Union leaders in October.
