Exit polls show huge win for Johnson, conservatives, and Brexit

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Boris Johnson and the Tories are poised to make gains in Parliament and retain control, according to exit polls from the historic election. Projections show them sitting at 368 of the 650 seats, a 50-seat bump from the 2017 elections.

Election results 2019: Tories on course to win majority – exit poll

Exit polls have proved to be very accurate in recent years. In 2017 it correctly predicted a hung Parliament, with no overall winner, and in 2015 it predicted the Conservatives would be the largest party.

If the exit poll is correct, and Boris Johnson has secured a majority, then he will have the backing of MPs on the green benches behind him to take us out of the European Union next month.

A huge junction in our history – a moment that will redraw our place in the world.

Much of the talk from the media leading up to election day was focused on how embarrassing it would be if Johnson lost. As the tone of the BBC article above illustrates, the UK has the same problems that we do with progressive elites in the ranks of their media. The people want Brexit, as they’ve demonstrated through three votes so far, but the progressives simply don’t want to accept the results of elections. Sound familiar?

Boris Johnson will remain Prime Minister. Brexit is finally going to happen. Progressive media is beside itself. The echoes of America’s challenges with leftist elites who know better than the rest of us may be a universal problem in the western world.

It means Johnson will get BREXIT on his own terms - and his terms are probably going to be quite different from that of “no deal” Brexiters.

It took them three damn votes.

After the 1st Brexit vote in 2016 it was the harbinger of #MAGA

Even Bill Clinton sitting on the sofa on election night after he called his guy in Florida and learned that Hillary was going to lose the Sunshine state and that was the 1st major domino to her failure that evening. Bill Clinton was reported to say...

From the book “SHATTERED”

Hillary was still surprisingly calm, unable or unwilling to delve into the details of how her dream was turning into a nightmare. Bill was less reticent. He’d had a sinking feeling that the British vote to leave the European Union had been a harbinger for a kind of screw-it vote in the United States. He’d seen the transatlantic phenomenon of populist rage at rallies across the country, and warned friends privately of his misgivings about its effect on Hillary’s chances. Now his focus turned back to the international movement he’d seen gathering. “It’s like Brexit,” he lamented. “I guess it’s real.”

This is a cool British word for a landslide—a “topple”:
