Four implications of Boris Johnson’s victory
Boris Johnson can claim to have broken a vicious cycle, but his reshaped Conservative Party will have its work cut out to hold the UK together.
Tony BarberContributorLondon | The significance of the Conservative Party’s triumph in the UK’s general election is fourfold.
First, the UK will have to find a new place on the international stage outside the EU, which it will leave by the end of next month at the latest. Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s task will be complicated by increasing tensions in the US-European security and economic relationship, rising Great Power rivalries around the globe and an eroding post-1945 world order.
