#UK: PM Boris Johnson And His Conservatives Win Huge Electoral Victory

[world politics news]


Prime Minister Boris Johnson has promised to deliver Brexit and repay the trust of voters after he led the Conservatives to an historic general election win and yesterday's UK election.

The prime minister - who has met the Queen to ask to form a new government - has a House of Commons majority of 78, with one seat still to declare. His party has won 365 of 650 seats in parliament, with Labour holding only 203, a devastating loss of 59 seats.

He said he would work "flat out" and lead a "people's government," and said that he was grateful for all the Labour Party voters who crossed the aisle to vote for him and the Conservatives.

Jeremy Corbyn said he would not fight another election as Labour's Party Leader, amid recriminations over the party's defeat.
