The conservatives of the British Prime Minister, Boris Jonhson, have reached the absolute majority they were looking for to execute the final phase of Brexit , according to the official vote count of the general elections on Thursday in the United Kingdom.

Conservatives have comfortably surpassed the 326 seats needed to reach that absolute majority, half plus one of the seats that make up the House of Commons of the Westminster Parliament.

When 636 of the 650 seats have been scrutinized, the Tories get 354 seats (46 more than they had until now), followed by Jeremy Corbyn Labor with 202 deputies (58 less), while the Scottish Nationalist Party (SNP) he gets 48 (goes up 13), the Liberal Democratic Party draws 10 (one less), and the rest corresponds to other formations.

The BBC public network estimates that conservatives will draw a total of 362 seats.

Great rise of Scottish independence

The SNP of Nicola Sturgeon is, along with the conservatives, the great winner of this election date, since the projection is that it will take out 52 of the 59 seats that Scotland has in Parliament.

The pro-European Liberal Democratic Party could win 13 seats, one more than at the 2017 election date.

The poll on foot of the ballot box released last night by the BBC, ITV and Sky chains anticipated the absolute majority for the conservatives with 368 seats and granted the Labor 191 deputies.

With Johnson as leader, the conservatives make a great leap from the 317 seats they had won in the 2017 elections with Theresa May leading the party.

The head of the British Government stressed that the victory of his formation in these elections will "respect the will" of the people of the United Kingdom to execute the withdrawal of the EU.

Withholding his seat from the English constituency of Uxbridge & Ruislip North, Johnson said conservatives have received a "powerful mandate" to lead and "unite" the United Kingdom, and insisted that this Friday will begin the work of focusing "on the priorities "of the people, such as Health and Education.

The Tory leader, who came to power last July to replace May, has focused his campaign on the need to run Brexit and comply with the calendar set for January 31, 2020.

Corbyn announces his departure

For its part, the main opposition force, the Labor Party of Jeremy Corbyn, suffers a resounding defeat.

"This is obviously a very disappointing night," said Corbyn, announcing that he will not lead the party in the next election and will launch "internal reflection." In any case, the Labor leader has announced that his march will be gradual, since his intention is to remain at the head of the Labor until his relief occurs.
