So, Boris Johnson’s Conservative party has emerged as the unquestionable victor in the UK elections. When he called for snap polls a few months go, many dubbed it an unsafe bet. Even in the Tories, a few were buyers of the new election. Boris Johnson, however, had read the pulse of the public about the thorny issue of Brexit, and went ahead with polls to win a working majority to execute the plan. With 365 seats, up 48 from the last parliament, the Tories have a majority of 80. And this happened with the Conservatives after 32 years, for which the credit must go to maverick Boris Johnson who has won the Brexit-dominated contest. Figures tell that the parties that supported leave-the-European Union polled 47 per cent, while pro-second-referendum parties polled 51 percent.
