The Brexit election explained: where do we go from here?

- 'Let the healing begin' Boris Johnson declared today, in a victory speech on the steps of Number 10 aimed at bringing a fractured country back together. (Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
He insisted the focus would be on the NHS.
But his landslide victory puts Brexit right back on the immediate agenda - the Withdrawal Bill likely to go before MPs next week.
And it will put Scottish independence front and centre too - thanks to a resurgent SNP.
As for Labour - with their worst result since the thirties, the political recriminations begin - and the search for a new leader.

Jo Swinson losing her seat may be the funniest part of this whole shitshow.
Could not have happened to a nicer person. And I thought Soubry and Grieve being kicked to the curb was going to be the highlight of the night.
she likes to live in a dream world instead of reality there is no place in politics for that
To lose it to her fellow remoaners the Scottish Nazi Party was the cherry on the cake.
No lordbuckethead was the highlight of this election
Yeah Jo Swinson losing her seat is a sweet bonus to this election.
So, Cathy, what you're saying is...
29:33 She was trolling quite hard with the "Johnny-come-lately" line. I thought Brits were supposed to have a lighter touch with irony than the rest of us savages around the world?
Ha. Someone was gonna say it lol. By the way, Gareth, you were shocking when Germany beat us 4-1 in South Africa.
@@stevetong1969 Yeah, it's ironic that the SJWs who really get into virtue-signalling the most are the ones trying their hardest to hide something shameful about themselves.

Geoffrey Cox was right! The turkeys couldn’t stop Christmas !!!! :) :)
Ciccio Bello fair point. Think I’ll have extra turkey this year!
@Tommy Tupperware Fun fact for you: More people voted for remain-supporting parties than for leave-supporting parties.
@What's That Nasty Smell I didn't personally vote, I'm simply stating facts. But as a citizen of a country, all of which will be impacted by brexit (except arguably for the very rich) you could say we all lost. Some people just voted for losing, either knowingly or unknowingly.
@Martin Baldwin-Edwards Well-Said. On average, majorities are driven by passion not cool,collected, considered reflection. Few years from now, a mob howl will be screaming for Mr Johnson's head.
@Martin Baldwin-Edwards No wonder you guys keep losing elections. Been hearing this for three years. Get a new strategy.
To cement this victory please make Dianne Abbott the next Labour leader.
Christian Gerhardt genius.....
Colin Cleveland this has been a political ‘bare knuckle fight’ to save democracy. The British people voted to leave the EU over three years ago. Nearly all of the parties including Labour kept blocking it and insulted us by calling us thick and misinformed, aided and abetted by our own main stream media and the judiciary. I was expecting the referendum to be overturned. Now, finally, it’s happening due to this general election. So there’s some very hot blooded celebration going on in the country right now!
@@deathguarddavegoogley2022 I agree and I voted to Remain. The Remoaners have caused a divide in this country by not accepting the result of the 2016 EU Referendum. Now they're at it protesting that Boris is "not my Prime Minister!" I didn't vote Conservative but the Conservatives won the election so I hope they come good on their pledges to get Brexit done and invest in the NHS. They would love to see Boris fail just so that they can say "I told you so! I told you he was a liar!" and they would prefer that over Boris actually making a success of his leadership and doing good for the country. Democracy!

keith maxine I hear what you are saying. There are huge inequalities in our society. I think we have different views about how and who should address them. As far as the Conservatives are concerned, they now have the power to do enormous good or enormous harm. I think (hope) that they will address the needs of the poorest in society.
I think Jeremy Corbyn means well, but I think his policies would have bankrupted the economy which would have everyone worse off in the long run.

Game of thrones could learn how to end a season from brexit 😂
I'd argue the opposite. Boris gets crushed by rocks, Corbyn gets stabbed in the gut and a dragon burns down #10. Another happy ending.
There were 73 episodes in the Game of Thrones.
Back during season 1, Game of Thrones cost about $6 million per episode to produce. In season 2, that number was closer to $7 million, with “Blackwater” - the show’s first big action set piece episode - getting produced for $8 million. By the time we got to season 6, HBO was shilling out an average of $10 million per episode. As the show’s fan base has grown, so has its budget. Though a $10 million price tag for a TV show may sound excessive, it’s not unprecedented: The final season of Friends reportedly cost $10 million per episode (including the $1 million paid every episode to each of the six cast members).
However, Friends was averaging an incredible 25 million viewers per episode.
Whereas, Game of Thrones was averaging about; 6.4 million views per episode.

FACT More people voted for remain and people's votes parties than for brexit parties. "The British people" voted against Brexit.
@ Gar Sm. The only single-issue vote we’ve had in recent years was the 2016 referendum which produced a clear majority in favour of Leave. Despite that, we’ve had 3 years of Remainers claiming the result had to be ignored and rerun to get a Remain majority. We also had to listen to hypocrites claiming that Parliament , which was out of touch with public opinion, was supreme and should override the referendum result. Now you tell us that a Parliamentary majority is irrelevant. Your side have lost on all fronts and you’ll just have to swallow it.
@@robertbaines6073 The only people in recent times saying a parliamentary majority was irrelevant are the hard Brexiteers. Not only was the 2016 referendum not about a hard Brexit, the general election just held showed a clear majority voting for parties supporting either remaining in the EU or a people's vote. These are the facts.
@@Famof8 Go back and read the manifestos. Labour promised a people's vote. The majority of people voted for parties who either supported remaining in the EU or a people's vote. This is just a fact.
@@Famof8 I didn't say everyone voting Labour supported remaining in the EU. I said parties supporting remaining in the EU or a people's won a majority of the votes. Those parties supporting the Johnson deal or an even harder Brexit without a people's vote won a minority of vote cast. Your point that the Tories won most seats does not change any of these facts.
The election explained - mediasplaining. Let us tell you what to think.
@intempify You are the thick one if you swallow media sensationalism ..
intempify you’re the thick one mate, if anyone is
intempify How can you judge human intelligence from one sentence?
@intempify butthurt lefty
@intempify The thing is I don't need the media to explain to me what happened. I have drawn my own conclusion. We had a referendum and one side won by a narrow margin, but nonetheless won. The majority of parliament opposed the result and for the three years following parliament obstructed the implementation of the referendum. This crippled the government to the extent that it was not functioning. We had an election an one party said we will finish the process so we can move on and the other parties continued to oppose or not take a firm position. The voters know we have to move on from the referendum and of course the majority of them were in favour of implementing the result so they choose to remove the opposition. Essentially the parties that lost have only themselves to blame for biting the hand that feeds them.
Swinson isn't as evil as Sturgeon. That said, can't UK deport them both to Afghanistan?

A triple loss to the U.K. as a whole:
1. The type of "Brexit" sold to the people isn't Brexit at all. England and Wales will be in a rather worse position in relation to the E.U. than before this "deal" and light years apart of the advantages of a full membership.
2. This "Brexit" throws Northern Ireland irrevocably in the arms of the Republic of Ireland ( finally!) and consequently in the arms of the E.U. paving ipsus facto the unification of the Irish Island.
3. The real winner in this election was Scotland and its movement for independence that will culminate with its ratification.
In all and all, we are watching slow and systematic dismantling of what was known as the United Kingdom.

At the Scottish independence referendum 5 years ago "leave" got 45% of the vote. At the Election last week the SNP also got 45% of the vote, but under the first-past-the-post system the SNP got 80% of the seats in Scotland. However any future referendum would be on a national percentage like the last one was - therefore the "leave" crowd would lose AGAIN in a second referendum as it would likely only get what the SNP got last week, namely less than half the votes. What will Sturgeon do then, ask for a THIRD referendum?
By Corbin saying ALL of their policies were perfectly popular, he said HE wasn’t.
Yes, You need a great personality to drive an economy into the ground. Go Boris.
Part of that was right.
Mainstream media character assassinations will do that.
"Job done"
Rupert Murdoch et al
Also it's possible that a bunch of policies can be individually popular but not collectively.
I might find the options of buying a new car, or going on holiday, both good ideas, but maybe if I took both I couldn't pay my rent/mortgage. That was what the Labour manifesto was like. Free broadband AND free tuition AND expensive nationalisations AND a four-day week, WITHOUT raising taxes on anyone earning below 80k. It clearly wasn't believable. The manifesto may have contained individually popular policies but in the round its main purpose was to further erode what little trust the British public had in the party to follow through on their promises.
This is something that very few people in the Labour Party seem to have realised. They had better wise up quickly.
@@alexpotts6520 Except it was all backed by economists and the other side are notorious for not keeping their promises, so that doesn't really hold up.

Channel 4 stating that the people clearly voted against Brexit. Bullocks - labour retained quite a few Brexit supporters. They just could not bring themselves to vote for the Tories.
This clearly shows the lunacy of the archaic, outdated, FPTP (First past the post) UK electoral system.
There are 47,587,254 registered voters in the United Kingdom.
The turnout was 67.3%, some 32,026,221 actually voted.
13,966,451 people voted for the Tory party.
18,029,770 people did not vote for the Tory party.
Far more British voters (millions of people) didn’t vote for the Tory party than did vote for it. However, despite this...the Tories now hold a large majority in Parliament. This is not democracy, not by any sense of the word. A FPTP system simply cannot deliver true democracy.
Only “proportional representation” (PR) can produce a result which reflects a true democratic vote and one that includes a fair and balanced representation of all stakeholder citizens that took part.
Cleisthenes must be turning in his Athenian grave 🤬
👏👍
You knew the rules before the election. You knew how the system works. If you are not informed then that is your choice.
Do you want to change something? Win votes first. More votes than any other party.
It's quite simple, really.
mrD66M
Oh, I left the UK way back in 1976...so it effects me not.
However, as a retired geographical sociologist...it does bother me that the UK’s archaic FPTP system can never offer true democracy.
Not even remotely so...it’s merely a FPTP bully takes all setup.
No inclusion, no balance, no fair representation.
It simply creates an “us versus them” situation....as has clearly been the case since 2016, and psycho-socially will remain so.
Today, most countries (about 160) have now moved away from this rather outdated, irrelevant, electoral model.
Just keeping it real.
Behind The Layers
Yes, it’s a real shame.
Well, I would probably find the psycho-sociological related aspects rather interesting...however, you are right...I never actually wanted to remain living in the UK. I knew that from a very young age even as a teenager.
I wish Britain would throw out that awful, bygone era, FPTP system and also really clamp down on the scaremongering lies that the pro Brexit camp used to hoodwink the public. Their online, pin-pointed, ad campaigns targeted at the undecided folks was sheer and utter fiction...as several TED Talk speakers have clearly shown.
This is the biggest mistake in 2 generations...and Britain will soon find out exactly that.

@@paddydiddles4415 LOL. I swear, I will try and find the footage of her.
Whoa.. that is some surreal theater! Poor guys are shuffling into their pub for a pint, only to find the place brightly lit up - and some cows have wandered in. The bewilderment on their faces..
"Where do we go from here?".... LOL, WHAT A TEARFUL TITLE. BOO-HOOHOO!! :D:D:D:D:D:D
@Qwfwq66 Mmmmmm, YUMMY TEARS! THANK YOU! :D:D:D:D:D
@Behind The Layers OH HELLO MORE GUARDIAN READER TEARS! Mmmmmm, THANK YOU! ... YOUR TEARS TASTE ESPECIALLY GUARDIAN.... PLEASE COME AGAIN :D:D:D:D:D:D
The General Election as far as Labour and the Lib Dems were concerned was like watching a car crash in slow motion. The most exciting part of the crash was seeing swivel eyes Swinson and comrade Corbyn loose out.
THANK YOU CHANNEL FOUR. YOUR BIAS MADE MANY OF US CHANGE FROM REMAIN TO LEAVE.
And from Labour to Conservative, more importantly!
Why Labour party has failled??
Because there was NO clear and explicit standpoint.
The labour party did Not say neither it is against the Brexit nor it supports, so it ends up in no man's position!! there are were very people who were between leave and remain.
Remember, 48% of the population has voted for remain. There two major voters,remain and leave. The labour party failled to take the vote of 48% remain voters.
There were actually small party thas has clearly used the word "stop berexit" but this party was very small and could not win for the ellection that is why people did not vote for it.
In the same situation the Brexit party did get any thing why because it could not get the majority to win.
The two major parties were conservatives and labour.
FREEDOM for Scotland and UNIFICATION for Ireland!
Jon Lansman getting slammed was the highlight
Liberal democrats basically allowed brexit congratulations! not the first time.
Taylan Cakir no, the 17.4 million people that voted for it did.
@@evolassunglasses4673 the result was inevitable for at least two reasons:
(1) the remain votes were diluted among many parties whereas the conservatives absorbed essentially all leave votes.
(2) a single vote in a small constituency counts as multiple votes in a larger constituency, and small constituencies are largely pro brexit;
.. the "overwhelming tory majority" follows, but for the above reasons it's an illusionary majority and the reality is that 53% of the voters voted for remain parties.
Yeah... that's a nonsense notion. . .If the democrat's had disappeared off the planet 12 months ago it would have still played out the same.. . there are 400+ leave voting seats when you break down the referendum results due to constituency boundaries. It was the overwhelming flight of Leave votes to the Tories from Labour... not Labour votes to the Lib Dems that played out yesterday.
In constituency terms there were never enough Remain votes to pool outside of the big metro area's to make this an even fight.
The only question up in the air was how badly did those Labour voters want Brexit ? and as it turns out the answer was enough to break tribal voting habits generations in the forging.
@@johntowers1213 Exactly. And Boris and Co were well aware of this, which is why they so strongly opposed a people's vote. A people's vote would not suffer from the constituency boundaries' flaw, so that the pro-remain ~53% would then prevail.
Latest poll showing appetite for 2nd Scottish independence Referendum: 45% for 55% against. (Exactly the same as the 1st referendum result)
Nicola Sturgeon: This is clearly a Mandate for a second referendum!
The wind blowing slightly.
Nicola sturgeon: This is clearly a Mandate for a second referendum!
The rain falling.
Nicola sturgeon: This is clearly a Mandate for a second referendum!
The grass growing.
Nicola sturgeon: This is clearly a Mandate for a second referendum!
No one:
Nicola sturgeon: This is clearly a Mandate for a second referendum!
That's showing how people would vote given a second independence referendum happened, not how many people were opposed to a second referendum happening. Dogshit for brains comment.
Imagine your own party hating you
Waffle waffle thats all you ever get from so called experts.
Lol Scotland said bye
Sorry? Scotland voted to remain in the uk. Seems like many Scots have the problem of short memory?
McQuade 1 Maybe they changed their mind, maybe they didn’t. It is the view of the Prime Minister that they did not. Surely you realise that you cannot have a new referendum every time it is possible that people have changed their mind? A country can’t leave and rejoin the UK once per year. At the time of the referendum they wanted to remain in the UK, in a generation they can be asked again.
This is the conventional approach to independence referenda, and as it happens, it seems to be the approach favoured by the PM and the strong ruling Unionist party.
Sam Ludendorff Well they clearly changed their mind because snp won practically every seat in Scotland. So it isn’t really up to the tories whether Scotland should be allowed to decide their future because they lost heavily (in Scotland)
Ed Devlin It is up to the ruling conservative and unionist party, it is perfectly clear. Moreover, Boris has already been in contact with the Scottish first minister and informed her that the referendum independence will be respected and the SNP will not get another one. Accept it.

I have been watching Skynews Australia, to get REAL news.
The debate in Laubour seem to totaly wrong, 60 Laubor representatives without work, what about the tenth of thousends permanently out of work.
Labour Treated their diehard voters as a given. how wrong they were, I was one of them and i know lots more that voted Conservative for the first time also., I had only ever voted Labour all my life, but I just couldn't anymore, because of Corbyn.
Well done Boris at least Brexit will happen now 🇬🇧
What part of once in a lifetime vote, don't the SNP understand?
Much as I admire Nicola Sturgeon, every time I see her I am irresistibly reminded of wee Jimmy Crankie.
As an American viewing this. I can say that this is a great outcome for the Brits who want their country back by the end of January. Great Britain is a great country and its people should never loose that pride. The time for Brexit is now! The wait has been too long! This was 3 years in the making, in my thoughts if I were British I would have vote for a conservative Brexit and someone who can make it happen sooner. Luckily for the Brits today is that day and Boris is the man who will get it done. There will be protesting but it goes without say. Britain has now opened a BRIGHT future for itself with a new-found certainty in securing an executable Brexit.
After following this for quite sometime now, I had almost lost hope in in something like this happening, but here we are. I can now see myself possibly living in Britain for even a temporary time in the future.
1:35 Says it in a reassuring but firm voice, in order to more gently let down the many obsessive, infantile mental cases watching who still hope that somehow, we might manage to stay in the EU they know nothing about.
I saw some freak with blue hair yesterday. She (?) did not look happy. Made my day, it did. What a wonderful and devastating repudiation of the hateful, the toxic, and the utterly dishonest we had on Thursday night.

The resistance against the democratic vote?
