.
. >>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I DON’T WANT TO TEMPT FATE
BECAUSE CLEARLY LOTS OF RESULTS
ARE STILL COMING IN AND WE’RE
STILL ONLY DEALING WITH
PROJECTIONS.
PROJECTIONS. BUT AT THIS STAGE, IT DOES LOOK
AS THOUGH THIS ONE NATION
CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN
GIVEN A POWERFUL NEW MANDATE.
[ CHEERS ]
TO GET BREXIT DONE.
>> NICE TOUCH HAVING UNZIPPING
ELMO THERE BEHIND HIM.
BRITISH PRIME MINISTER BORIS
JOHNSON CELEBRATING HIS PARTY
ERASE APPARENT VICTORY AT THE
POLLS A SHORT TIME AGO.
EXIT POLLS SHOWING JOHNSON
REMAINING AT 10 DOWNING STREET,
PICKING UP A MUCH LARGER
MAJORITY INSIDE PARLIAMENT.
A LOOK AT THE MORNING PAPERS
FROM THE U.K., THE LEFT-LEANING
DAILY MIRROR DECLARES NIGHTMARE
BEFORE CHRISTMAS, "GUARDIAN"
PREDICTING.
PREDICTING. ON THE RIGHT IT SAYS REJOICE,
BORIS SET FOR THUMPING WIN.
BBC SAYING THE TORIS IN EFFORTS
TO GET BREXIT DONE TO CRASH
ENGLAND OUT OF THE EU.
JEREMY CORBYN ALSO SPOKE OUT
AFTER A RESOUNDING WIN FOR
JOHNSON, ANNOUNCING, QUOTE, I
WILL NOT LEAD THE PARTY IN ANY
FUTURE GENERAL ELECTION.
LUCKILY FOR HIM, THE PARTY
PROBABLY WOULD HAVE ARRIVED AT
THAT SAME CONCLUSION.
UP EARLY FOR US IN LONDON WITH
THE VERY LATEST IS OUR OWN CAL
PERRY.
PERRY. I’VE GOT TO SAY IT APPEARS FROM
HERE, LIKE MOST OF THE CHARGES
OF MALPRACTICE, OR GOING RIGHT
TO THE LEFT, RIGHT TO JEREMY
CORBYN.
CORBYN. THIS IS FROM LARRY SABATO AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, MIND
YOU.
YOU. JUST ONE QUESTION FOR LABOUR,
HOW COULD YOU HAVE BEEN STUPID
ENOUGH TO THINK JEREMY CORBYN
COULD EVER WIN A GENERAL
ELECTION?
ELECTION? AND THAT’S THE QUESTION THAT
PAYS TONIGHT, CAL.
>> Reporter: YEAH.
AND THEY’RE SAYING IT IS THE
WORST DEFEAT SINCE 1935 AND A
LOT HAS HAPPENED IN EUROPE SINCE
1935.
1935. AND THEY’RE BLAMING, AS YOU
SAID, JEREMY CORBYN.
HE IS AN INCREDIBLY UNPOPULAR
LEADER ON THE SCALE OF
POPULARITY, HE WAS AT A MINUS
44, AND TAS WHAT PEOPLE ARE
TALKING ABOUT.
TALKING ABOUT. WE’RE HERE IN ITV NEWS
HEADQUARTERS.
HEADQUARTERS. THIS IS ELECTION HQ.
YOU WOULD EXPECT WEARY STAFF.
THE POLLS WERE WRONG, BRIAN, NOT
A SURPRISE THERE.
I SUPPOSE IF YOU LOOK AT RECENT
ELECTION HISTORY, BORIS
JOHNSON’S PARTY WAS SUPPOSED TO
WIN SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 300 AND
330 SEATS.
330 SEATS. IT’S LOOKING RIGHT NOW LIKE
AROUND 360.
AROUND 360. AS YOU SAID, BREXIT IS BASICALLY
A DONE DEAL NOW.
JANUARY 31st, THE U.K. WILL
CRASH OUT.
CRASH OUT. THE QUESTION NOW IS WHAT ARE THE
MORE REVERBERATING EFFECTS?
SCOTLAND, S&P RIGHT NOW SCOTLAND
NATIONAL PARTY 45 SEATS.
THERE WILL LIKELY BE A
REFERENDUM ON SCOTTISH
INDEPENDENTS IN THE COMING.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE UNITED
KINGDOM?
KINGDOM? YOU MENTIONED JEREMY CORBYN.
TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT A LANDSLIDE
LOOKS LIKE, WHAT AN EARTHQUAKE
ELECTION LOOKS LIKE.
STEVE KORNACKI WILL BE VERY
JEALOUS.
JEALOUS. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THESE SWINGS
HERE.
HERE. LOOKS LIKE WHAT YOU WOULD SEE IN
THE U.S. IN, FOR EXAMPLE, 2010
WHEN WE HAD THE HOUSE SEATS
SWING AWAY FROM DEMOCRATS.
THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED.
AND THE GEOGRAPHY IS SIMILAR TO
WHAT WE SEE IN THE U.S.
WE’RE TALKING ABOUT LONDON WAS A
PLACE WHERE LABOUR DID WELL, BUT
IN THE COUNTRYSIDE THE
CONSERVATIVES MADE MAJOR GAINS.
THIS IS WHERE YOU REDRAW THE MAP
IN THE UNITED KINGDOM.
AGAIN, I CAN’T PUT A FINE ENOUGH
POINT ON THIS.
THE MAPS IN YOUR CHILDREN’S
BEDROOMS WILL BE WRONG NEXT YEAR
IF SCOTLAND SPLITS AWAY.
THAT’S GOING TO BE THE STORY IN
THE MORNING PAPERS.
THE PRESS HERE IN THIS COUNTRY,
THE ATTITUDE, THE ENVIRONMENT OF
THIS ELECTION WAS INCREDIBLY
UGLY.
UGLY. AND BORIS JOHNSON TAPPED INTO A
SIMPLE MESSAGE, GET BREXIT DONE.
