United Kingdom: Johnson’s Conservatives suffer defeat in by-elections | Boris Johnson News

The Liberal Democrats have won the North Shropshi, a sign of declining support for the UK government party.

The Conservative Party of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Boris Johnson has received a shocking defeat in the parliamentary elections that are being seen as a referendum on his government.

Liberal Democrat Helen Morgan, the centrist who represents the third largest party in England, in North Shropshi, disqualified the Conservative majority of nearly 23,000 votes in the last election to win Thursday’s contest.

The Conservatives won all the previous elections for a rural area, mostly in central England, since the constituency was created in 1983 as it is today.

“Tonight, the people of North Shropshire have spoken on behalf of the British people. They said loud and clear, ‘Boris Johnson, the party is over,’ “Morgan said in a victory speech.

“Our people are demanding leadership. Mr. Johnson, you are not a leader. “

Former Conservative MPs called the election after his resignation corruption in the midst of a scandal.

The result, which Conservative candidate Neil Shastri-Hurst described as “very disappointing”, will put pressure on Johnson, two years after he was re-elected with a seemingly unassailable 80-seat majority in Parliament.

But his authority has been waning in recent weeks due to the presence of him and his staff Christmas parties while the country was under blockade last year, allies duly accepted suggestions to protect an effort to protect an ally from illegal lobbying allegations and donations to renovate its official headquarters.

Against this background, supporters and opponents question whether Johnson managed the pandemic after coronavirus infections. went up to the record this week’s highly transmissible Omicron variant has crossed the UK.

Private elections are often used by nationalists to punish the ruling party, but the magnitude of the Liberal Democrat victory will be seen as evidence of deep public dissatisfaction.

Johnson still retains a large majority of seats in Parliament after a landslide victory in the 2019 election, based on his promise to “do Brexit,” which combined traditional conservative right-wing voters with groups of new supporters.

North Shropshire was in favor of Brexit, an area in favor of the Conservatives. Analysts say Friday’s severe failure could weaken Johnson’s power in the face of politicians already in the open insurgency over plans to introduce COVID-19 passports.

The next British national election will be in 2024.

Voters in the by-elections have given the Conservatives a “kick” because they were tired, party chairman Oliver Dowden Johnson told Sky News on Friday.

“I think he wants to send us a message and I want to say, as president of the Conservative Party: we’ve heard that loud and clear.”
