The broadcaster's exit poll results projected on the outside of the BBC building in London showsBritain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Conservative Party predicted to win 368 seats and a majority as the ballots begin to be counted in the general election: Britain’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson looks set to score a solid majority that will secure parliamentary support for his Brexit, after the U.K. voted in its third general election in less than five years.
If the polls are accurate, it would mean the Conservatives gain 50 seats and Labour lose 71 seats. It's important to note that exit polls were correct in the 2017 U.K. election. Commentators have noted that this would be the worst loss for Labour since 1935. The vote was widely seen as a crunch moment for determining Britain’s path in terms of Brexit, while the NHS was also a key point around which the major political parties rallied.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn campaigned on higher taxes for high earners, safeguarding the NHS, and giving voters a final say on a new Brexit deal. Voters are asked to fill in mock ballot papers after they leave the polling station. Those results make up the exit poll prediction.: Johnson called the election in October, after failing to fulfill his promise of getting the U.K. out of the European Union by October 31.
