British Premier Boris Johnson won the 2019 elections with a landslide victory. Johnson won 363 followed by Labour’s Jeremy Corbyn who won 203. Scottish National party Nicola Sturgeon won 48 seats.
Boris Johnson said he would deliver Britains departure from the EU by the end of January and thanked traditional labour voters who handed him the parliamentary majority to do so.
The prime minister, who addressed crowds in Westminster was triumphant. He expressed regret for fellow Labour party who lost seats to the Conservatives.
As the final votes were counted, indicating a thumping Tory majority of over 80 seats, he said:
I have a message for everyone who voted for Brexit. You may only have lent us your vote, you may not be a natural Tory, and your hand may have quivered over the ballot paper, you may intend to return to Labour, I am humbled that you have put your trust in us. And I do not and will never take it for granted.
It is the irrefutable decision of the British people. I say respectfully that it is time to put a sock in the megaphone and give everyone some peace.
In the election your voice has been heard and about time too. I will get Brexit done by January 31 – no ifs, buts or maybes.
