It was predicted that the Conservatives would win, but I don't think anyone predicted just how badly they'd thrash the Jeremy "Stalin was a Conservative" Corbyn's Labor Party.
It was such a bloodbath that there are widespread and growing calls for Corbyn to resign, and he's already said that he won't be leading the party in the next election.
Boris now has a clear majority, picking up 47 seats, while Labor lost 59 seats, including apparently quite a few to the Scottish National Party. The Conservatives also lost big in Scotland; I think I heard that they now only have one MP from Scotland.
And, the SNP leader is starting to crow about forcing a second independence referendum... I don't understand why the Scots who want independence don't take a page out of the American history book and... oh, wait... the most powerful weapon they have is a bagpipes... never mind.
I also saw last night that the Conservatives took a seat that had been Labor's since that seat was established in 1950.
Johnson is saying that this is an obvious mandate from the voters to GTFO of the EU.
And, now the EU is apparently gearing up to play another round of hardball with the Brits.
Going to be an interesting couple of months on the far side of the pond!
