The election of the prime minister in the United Kingdom just took place. The conservative party took the lead with 43.6% of the votes, and labour came in with 32.2% of the votes. After this election, the votes for remain and leave the EU changed in most of the parties.
In the conservative party, an additional 6.1% vote strongly for leaving the EU, while 2.9% less vote for remaining in the EU. The labour party lost 10.4% of voters for leaving the EU, but also lost 6.4% of the votes for leaving. The votes from the smaller parties also increased in strong leave, but also strong remain.
After this election, Brexit will happen, says Boris Johnson. Especially now that the conservative party has 365 seats in the Parliament, and all of them told Johnson that they will vote for Brexit to happen, which means that it will, since this will be a majority vote. But what will happen to the UK if Brexit happens?
I think what will happen when they are no longer a part of the EU depends on what the UK and the EU agreed on.
