Boris Johnson, the most not "prime minister" in British history, could have been smug in his victory speech. After all, he brought conservatives their biggest victory since Margaret Thatcher's glory days in the 1980s.

His victory is significant not only because he first gained public confidence as prime minister and restored to the Conservatives the absolute majority in parliament, which they lost in 2015. The victory is significant because he placed an exclamation point after several issues that have so far been under question.

First and foremost, he put an end to all the talk that the UK didn't really want barking. That was the theme of the election and that was what made them, breaking the classic party lines, with Labor's traditional, working-class audience deciding to leave in 2016 and giving the Conservatives the sweeping victory this year.

Opponents of the Barcasite did not stop calling for a return referendum, but now that Johnson has won an overwhelming majority based on promises to say goodbye to Europe by January 31, 2020, they have nothing but to sit still, as Johnson offered them (only in more picturesque language).

The second question that received an unequivocal answer was the standing of Jeremy Corbyn, who instituted a fear rule in Labor and kept all those who dared to tell the truth about his anti-Semitism. It was precisely this power that was in his mind.

More on:

• British Jews breathe a sigh of relief - but Labor will not easily break free from anti-Semitism Interpretation

Corbin does not apologize: "There was anti-Semitism before me too"

• Boris Johnson: "The safety of the Jews is a top priority"

On the one hand, he was seen as a real threat to the future of the kingdom, so his opponents set out to vote in droves to remove it. Corbin, on the other hand, was so controversial that even veteran Labor voters who opposed the barracks did not want to give him the win. The analysis of the results shows that in many areas where the public voted in the past for Labor and opposed the Barracit, left-wing voters gave conservatives victory by abstention. Thus, for example, in Sedgefield County, from which came Labour's Tony Blair, who has been the first Conservative candidate this year since 1935 - the majority of Labor voters there did not cast their votes for conservatives, but simply did not reach the ballot box.

Now there is nothing that can stop Johnson from fulfilling his promise and begin the separation, but that does not mean that he has five quiet years of uninterrupted rule. Even after January 31, he will have to negotiate with the union on final agreements to regulate relations between the parties, and Scotland, which opposes the Barcasit, is already calling for a referendum on a UK split and staying in the union. So Johnson will probably be able to get the kingdom out of the union, but then he will have to work hard to keep it united.
