2020 United Kingdom general election (What Awaits Us)

The 2020 United Kingdom general election took place on Thursday 7 May 2020, having been called following the successful 2020 vote of no confidence in the Johnson ministry. Each of the 650 constituencies elected a Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons. The poll resulted in a hung parliament with the Brexit Party as the largest single party, while the governing Conservative Party suffered the worst defeat for a sitting government in UK history. Turnout reached 73 percent, the highest level since 1992.

It was the first time since 1910 that a party other than Labour OR the Conservatives became the largest party. The Brexit Party's seat total of 272 was also the lowest ever for a winning party, as was its vote share of little over 25 percent.

In the aftermath of the election the Brexit Party and the Conservatives formed a coalition government with Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage as Prime Minister, while Labour and Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn resigned after losing dozens of seats.
