Britain was speeding towards Brexit on Friday after Prime Minister Boris Johnson won a resounding election victory, ending three years of uncertainty since Britons voted to leave the European Union.
Johnson has relentlessly pursued Brexit since he put himself forward as the face of the victorious "Leave" campaign in a 2016 referendum, and it represents Britain's biggest geopolitical step since World War Two.
Overnight, results pouring in from the 650 parliamentary constituencies around the United Kingdom showed that Johnson's Conservative Party had trounced its main opponent, winning 364 seats to the Labor Party's 203.
The election result, a vindication of Johnson's simple campaign message, "Get Brexit Done", marked the biggest House of Commons majority for the Conservatives since Margaret Thatcher's 1987 triumph.
