The 2019 United Kingdom General Election
Conservative Victory
The 2019 General Election resulted in a Conservative victory. The party won 365 seats, 48 more than in 2017, and 436 of the vote, up from 42.2%.
Conservative Gains in Labour Heartlands
The Conservatives made their greatest gains in areas of Wales and northern England, traditionally Labour strongholds. This was largely due to the party's promise to "Get Brexit Done," which resonated with many voters who felt that the UK was not getting a good deal from the European Union.
Conservative Majority
The Conservatives' victory gave them a majority of 80 seats in the House of Commons. This gives the government a strong mandate to implement its policies, including its plans to leave the European Union.
Labour Losses
The Labour Party suffered its worst defeat since 1935, losing 60 seats. This was largely due to its failure to convince voters that it had a clear plan for Brexit. The party's leader, Jeremy Corbyn, was also seen as unpopular by many voters.
Liberal Democrat Gains
The Liberal Democrats were the only party to make gains in the election, winning 11 seats. This was largely due to the party's pro-Remain stance, which appealed to voters who wanted to stay in the European Union.
