Published: Dec. 13, 2019, 1:04 p.m.

Brexit — the chaos that Britain has been trying to manage in the last three years may get a move forward as Boris Johnson is set to form government as UK’s Prime Minister. This general election was not about anything else, this was essentially a Brexit election.

Johnson’s Conservative Party managed a comfortable victory margin while defeating the Labour Party headed by Jeremy Corbyn for four years in a row.

UK has 650 constituencies and the Conservatives won 364 seats while Labour Party managed 203. Good mandate for the Conservatives but this probably one of the worst performances of the Labour party in a handful of decades.

So what next for the Brexit deal? How will this impossible mission be finally accomplished? And what does it have for Indians? Tune in to The Big Story!
