UK Election Analysis: Understanding the Tories' Smashing Win

The 2019 UK general election results are in and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Conservatives have won an outright majority in the UK election. The opposition Labour Party has suffered a historic defeat. Boris Johnson's gamble to call a snap election just before Christmas has paid off after his Conservative Party won. But it wasn't quite as easy as he's hoped. Many are now asking which side of Boris Johnson will they get? The right wing pro Brexit leader or the more affable liberal Tory. In the early hours, Johnson appeared at his own constituency count and said his government had been given a "powerful new mandate" to finally take the UK out of the European Union. The Labour party blamed Brexit for their crushing losses.
