UK exit poll gives Johnson majority of 86
By EUobserver
The exit poll from the UK general election on Thursday night predicted a majority of 86 for the Conservative party of Boris Johnson, with 368 seats. Labour were behind, on 191 seats, the Scottish National Party (SNP) on 55 seats, and the Liberal Democrats a distant fourth on 13 seats. If that prediction translates into seats on Friday morning, it makes Brexit next month almost a certainty.
