Boris Johnson is heading for a big majority, according to Britain’s exit poll

EXIT POLLS can be wrong. In both 1992 and 2015, they predicted a hung parliament, whereas the actual result was an outright Tory victory. Yet there seems no reason to doubt the verdict this time of a big majority for the Conservatives, as it is consistent with almost every opinion poll during the election campaign. Absent an earthquake in the small hours, Boris Johnson will wake up tomorrow as prime minister with a substantial majority in Parliament.
