LONDON, FRIDAY – The election on Thursday (12/12/2019) gave United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson more freedom to ensure the country’s exit from the European Union. Now, focus has switched on trade negotiations between the UK and the EU, which requires more time to be straightened out.
In the election result announced on Friday (13/12/2019), Johnson’s Conservative Party won 365 out of 650 seats in the House of Parliament, 38 seats more than the minimum requirement to gain parliament majority. This enables Johnson to retain his premiership and gain easier parliamentarian approval for his policies, especially processing the UK’s exit from the EU, or Brexit.
