Britain: Heavy defeat of Boris Johnson's Tories at their former stronghold
Boris Johnson, who saw the Tories lose their stronghold to the Liberal Democrats, blows it and does not get cold.
Boris Johnson's Conservative Party suffered a heavy defeat in a constituency that was considered its stronghold in central England in the vote to fill a seat in the House of Commons, show the official results released on Friday, which is a loud slap for the prime minister , who was already in dire straits.
According to APE-MPE, the candidate of the Liberal Democrats, Helen Morgan, was defeated by a difference of almost 6,000 votes of the candidate of Tories in this process, which was organized after the resignation of the Conservative MP Owen Patterson, accused of lobbying for a fee.
The Tories had won this seat, in the North Shropshire area, with a difference of 23,000 votes in 2019.
"Tonight, the people of North Shropshire have spoken on behalf of the British people. "They said it loud and clear: 'Boris Johnson, the party is over,'" Ms Morgan said in her closing remarks.
The Conservatives have won this seat in central England continuously since the constituency was created in 1983.
For many analysts, the Conservative vote of no-confidence is on the rise, with Mr Johnson on several fronts, especially after revelations about his associates's Downing Street party last Christmas, when the country was officially in a lockdown.
