In the unified local elections held in Britain on the 5th, the ruling and Conservative parties reduced their seats in various parts of England and fell from the position of the first party in the three wards of London, which was a strong ground. It will be a strong headwind for the Johnson administration.
In London, he was defeated by the Labor Party in Wandsworth, which has been dominated by the Conservatives since 1978, and Westminster, where the Houses of Parliament are located. Labor also won in Barnett in the north and Southampton in the south of England. Approximately half of the districts where the elections were held reported the ballot counting results by the morning of the 6th, and the Conservative Party has lost regarding one out of every six existing seats.
The West End constituency, which forms part of the Westminster district, is a high-class area with Mayfair and Soho, and is also a region full of hedge funds. In the past, the Conservative Party was a strong region, but the Labor Party won all three seats, supporting the party’s victory in the entire Westminster district.
“It’s a tough result, but the Conservatives have made progress in many areas,” Conservative Secretary General Dauden told Skynews yesterday. “The Labor Party has the momentum to establish the next government.” I don’t admit it. “
