And... 86-seat majority is really good?

I mean, just from the context clues I can guess that this is really good, but how can I visualize this as an american? Similar to that 'Trump on track to win 400 electoral votes' thing? An absolute fucking bombshell of a victory that leaves no room for doubt that communism can get fucked?

There are 650 seats in the House of Commons (basically the people that do everything), a majority of 325 or higher is required to run the country and be the ruling party. Current predictions are putting Conservatives at 368 seats and Labour at 191, the biggest loss they’ve had since 1935. TL,DR: The commies got absolutely cucked.

This graph illustrates it quite nicely in my mind: http://magaimg.net/img/a0ti.jpg

Oof

Did the Brexit party not get a single seat?

They’re not projected to get anything, and their overall vote share is 4% or so. They agreed not to stand in any seats that the Conservatives won last time so they didn’t split the vote, so they weren’t really going all out this time.

I imagine so, he was one of the biggest campaigners for Brexit, and was probably it’s biggest supporter in the Conservatives. There’s always the possibility that they’ll cuck but I’m hopeful.

Its 368 seats for Boris against 191 for Corbyn. The 86 Seat majority is an OVERALL majority meaning the Tories can outvote the entire rest of the house.

Yes, quite simply.
