LONDON - Britain was speeding toward Brexit on Friday after Prime Minister Boris Johnson won a crushing election victory, ending three years of uncertainty since the country decided to leave the bloc.
“We will get Brexit done on time by the 31st of January, no ifs, no buts, no maybes,” a triumphant Johnson told cheering supporters as a grey dawn broke over London. The Brexit issue, which has consumed politics and the public debate in Britain since 2016, has eroded traditional party loyalties, dividing the nation along new fault lines of urban vs rural, young vs old, and graduates vs non-graduates.
“You may hope to return to Labour next time round, and if that is the case, I am humbled that you have put your trust in me,” he said, a rare note of humility from a politician best known for his bombastic rhetoric and supreme self-belief.But it was a very different picture in Scotland, where the anti-Brexit, pro-independence Scottish National Party won 48 out of 59 Commons seats by thrashing both the Conservatives and Labour.
Congrats
Let us remember, at the beginning Hitler was loved! And at the end...
The dog at the poll made a difference...
The people have spoken, again, on leaving the EU — It’s sad that politicians don’t work for people in greatbritian
Brexit is the last thing that anyone on low incomes who voted for him needs to worry about
Not so fast...
Now would be a good time to remind ppl that Corbyn was actually pro Brexit too, had isolationist ideology much like other Russian inspired populists like Tulsi, Bernie and Trump, and only half assed his opposition to it
There is no such thing as a swift Brexit. It's not like you leave, and that's it. Leaving is the start of what comes next, not the end of anything.
Definitely propelling us at something.
