Wipe Out of British Liberals, Glimpse of the Future

(Chuck Muth) – Conservatives in Merry ol’ England enjoyed a smashing victory at the polls yesterday, “wiping out Labour strongholds that have stood across Britain since the 1930s, securing as many as 368 seats and giving (Boris) Johnson a majority in the House of Commons of around 76 seats.”

Take a look at these headlines…

• Boris Johnson Secures Historic Blowout Election Win – Daily Beast
• Boris Johnson has won the U.K. election – Market Watch
• Boris Johnson’s Conservative Party set for landslide win in UK election – CNBC
• K. election: Boris Johnson wins majority – Washington Post
• Boris Johnson bet the farm on an election, and it paid off big – CNN
• Boris Johnson Secures a Comfortable U.K. Election Win – WSJ
• Labour Party calls Boris Johnson’s projected election victory ‘utterly devastating’ for UK – FOX News
• Boris Johnson set to win a clear majority in U.K. election – NBC
• UK election: Boris Johnson, Conservatives win Parliament – USA Today
• Boris Johnson secures crushing UK election victory – Financial Times

• Boris Johnson Wins Decisive Majority in Election That Upends Britain – Bloomberg
• Boris Johnson leads Tories to historic general election win – The Guardian

I predict next November you’ll be able to substitute “Donald Trump” for “Boris Johnson,” “Republicans” for “Tories,” and “U.S.” for “U.K” … and the headlines will remain the same.

Bully, Boris!
