The UK/2019 General Election took place on 12 December 2019 after MPs, by a margin of 438 votes to 20, backed prime minister Boris Johnson's call for an election following months of Brexit deadlock. The PM said it was time for the country to "come together to get Brexit done".
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn enthused:
"This election is a once-in-a-generation chance to transform our country and take on the vested interests holding people back." He said his party would "now launch the most ambitious and radical campaign for real change that our country has ever seen".[1]
LibDem leader Jo Swinson said:
"I am standing as a candidate to be the next prime minister and in these volatile political times that is absolutely possible."
Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage welcomed the election, tweeting that the deadlock had been broken and "Brexit now has a chance to succeed".[2]
Results
Conservatives won 365 seats, an overall majority of 80 seats, Labour 203 seats, SNP 48 seats, LibDem 11 seats, DUP 8 seats and others 15 seats. The Brexit Party failed to win a seat, and LibDem Jo Swinson resigned as party leader after losing her seat in Scotland.[3]
Postal voting
According to Lord Ashcroft, who surveyed over 13,000 people on election day who had already cast their vote:
- "We found 38% saying they had voted by post. The Conservatives won 48% of postal votes, with 29% going to Labour and 13% to the Lib Dems. 41% of Conservative and Lib Dem voters voted by post, compared to 34% of Labour and 33% of SNP voters."[4]
On Twitter, Jason Robinson tweeted:
- "#IDOX #GEFraud #InvestigateIDOX
- "Postal votes account for 38%* of the total votes cast.
- "They are 100% managed by a private firm called #IDOX.
- "There needs to be an immediate public inquiry!"[5]
