** 12-Dec-2019 World View: Boris Johnson / Tories win overwhelming victory - Brexit now certain
The polls closed in Britain a few minutes ago, and exit polls indicate
an overwhelming victory of Boris Johnson's Conservative (Tory) party.
He will have 368 MPs, which is 86 above the minimum required for a
majority.
Assuming that the exit polls hold, Brexit in January is now all but
certain -- Britain will come out of the European Union.
Jeremy Corbyn's Labor party suffered a disastrous loss, with only 191
MPs. Corbyn is a super-obnoxious Socialist, and so this result may
have implications for the US elections next year.
The Scottish Nationalist Party (SNP), which is restricted to Scotland,
will have 55 MPs, which is a lot for the SNP.
This will give the nationalists in Scotland a reason to push for a new
referendum for Scotland to secede from the UK. However, this will be
complicated by the fact that even if Scotland secedes from the UK,
there's no guarantee that Scotland will be able to join the EU.
