Boris Johnson is on course to win a parliamentary majority, according to the official UK exit poll.Official election results will start to come in from midnight.Boris Johnson's Conservatives are set to win a huge majority in the United Kingdom's general election, according to the official UK exit poll published on Thursday evening.
Early indications are that the Conservatives have made significant gains in Brexit-voting Labour areas in Northern England and the Midlands, which will more than outweigh any potential losses in pro-European areas in the south. The poll is in stark contrast to modelling conducted in advance of the vote, which suggested Johnson would win only a modest majority in Parliament.
