ZitatExit polls in Great Britain are showing a huge landslide win for Boris Johnson's Conservative Party, giving the prime minister an absolute majority government -- the first since Margaret Thatcher in 1987.
The exit polls, which have been accurate in the past, give the Conservatives a total of 368 MP's -- 50 more than 2017 and a majority in Parliament. They won those seats largely at the expense of the Labor Party, who lost 71 seats, which will give them a total of 191. The Liberal Democrats who tied their fortunes to the "Remain" side, will gain 1 seat while the Scottish National Party, riding a wave of anti-Brexit sentiment, will gain 20 seats -- most of them at the expense of Conservatives. In fact, there will be only one Conservative MP left in Scotland.
The Labor Party is in ruins, and the left knows just who to blame. [Corbyn]
