LONDON, United Kingdom- The United Kingdom (UK) Prime Minister Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson’s Conservative Party has won the UK elections on December 12, 2019 in resounding fashion.

With all but one district declared on Friday morning, December 13, 2019, Prime Minister Johnson’s Conservatives had won 364 seats — 47 more than they won in the last election, in 2017.

The victory is the party’s biggest since Margaret H. Thatcher captured a third term in 1987 — “literally before many of you were born,” Mr Johnson told supporters Friday morning. It gives him a comfortable majority in the 650-seat House of Commons.

“We did it,” he said. “We smashed it, didn’t we?”

No second referendum on Brexit

Mr Johnson also vowed to get Brexit back on track.

Speaking after his victory, Johnson said he would "get Brexit done" by the end of January, and put an end to hopes for a second referendum.

He said the “miserable threats of a second referendum” were over and it was time for pro-EU campaigners to “put a sock in it”.

Mr Johnson, according to The Guardian, is now expected to push his Brexit deal through parliament, with a second reading before Christmas, exploiting his new-found freedom to operate without the support of the Democratic Unionist party or the hard-Brexit supporting European Research Group.

Opposition Leader Jeremy B. Corbyn said he would not lead the Labour Party into another election as the party headed for its worst result in decades.

It is important to note that the Scottish National Party, which wants Scotland to leave the UK, won 48 of the 59 seats in Scotland.

    Thank goodness Boris was successful. Not only would Jeremy Corbyn have destroyed the UK economy, he would have done his best to destroy the BVI economy too. The last thing we need is socialism in the UK or the US - nobody really likes Trump but he is doing a good job on the economy and Pocahontas would destroy it.

      'The last thing we need is socialism...' REALLY? Taxation is a form of socialism, free healthcare is a form of socialism, free education is a form of socialism. Socialism is simply the mechanism to try to balance up the inequalities a capitalist, free-market society inherently creates.

      A communist society is very different and repeatedly proven to be unsuccessful and therefore not desirable, but having elements of socialism is a sign of civilisation in a society, rather than leaving the 'losers' in the system languish in abject poverty (note, after 9 years of conservative-led UK government, ONE THIRD of UK children are now in poverty. As the fifth largest economy, this is a national disgrace).

        Obviously you are not watching what is happening in Europe with regard to socialism . Sounds good but long term it is a disaster

        Socialism ain't bad?

        It was labour that sided with the EU and pushed through that attack on the BVI financial services industry. We need the UK out of the EU pronto, and Boris is the man to do it. He ain't putting up with EU bull$h!+ like Theresa May.
