Boris Johnson sweeps the British elections and achieves an absolute majority according to exit polls

Boris Johnson has swept the elections in the United Kingdom on December 12, comfortably achieving the absolute majority that he aspired to achieve when he called these elections. According to the exit poll conducted by the BBC, the Conservatives clearly exceed the necessary figure to a total of 368 seats. The majority is at 326. It would also be the biggest victory for the Tories since that achieved by Margaret Thatcher in 1987.The Labor Party, meanwhile, collapses, losing 71 seats to 191 seats in the House of Commons . Scottish nationalists grow and achieve 55 seats, 20 more than they previously had, while the Liberal Democrats barely get one more, remaining with 13 seats.The final and official results will be known throughout the early morning, beginning to be known the data as of 1 a.m., in Spanish time. Boris Johnson’s victory was never in doubt in the face of these elections. The question was whether he would be able to approach the absolute majority for which the ordeal was played, arguing that Parliament was systematically blocking his plans for Brexit. These results suggest that Johnson has clearly won that order. They thus recover the absolute majority that they already achieved in 2015 with David Cameron. It was from then on that the shortly afterwards resigned premier became emboldened and proposed the referendum on Brexit, while the shift to the left led by Jeremy Corbyn with his promises to nationalize companies has only scared away British voters.Labor hoped for a last-minute comeback, and in fact, the latest polls pointed in that direction, similar to the one experienced in the 2017 elections, when they came closer than expected to the Conservatives, then led by Theresa. May. But these data suggest that, on this occasion, the reality has been diametrically opposite.
