so, a real victory here for the conservative party. ther story that we knew going into the night was that the snp, the scottish national party, was going to do very, very well. so, we can look at some of those seats. this was a win for the liberal democrats and not just a win for the snp from the liberal democrats but this took away joe swin son, the leader of the liberal democrat seat. this was one of the most significant moments of the election. and actually in scotland we saw significant results. you can see here how much of it was turning yellow throughout the night. this was a night of drama. this was a night where seats changed. this was a night where we had shock exits and significant victory. the conservatives best performance since margaret thatcher in 1987 giving them a mandate to deliver brexit. anna stewart from the cnn results center. >> thanks very much, anna. the moment we got at 10:00 local the exit poll, we saw the pound surging as a key exit poll predicted big conservative. sterling rose to $1.34. that's the highest le

i think yes, but i think the difference between the conservative party's offer and labour's offer, if could characterise it like this, is that the conservatives‘ offers will be, if you like, the sort of expenditure one would make on a mortgage whereas the labour party appeared to me to be maxing out the credit card. and that sort of responsible investment, particularly into communities that have been left behind in the past, will be right at the forefront of boris johnson's government. but to me, one of the key clear indicators where the government is heading, and it's an ideological emblem, if you like, is the proportion of gdp which is taken up with public expenditure. traditionally in the uk it sits at around 39, a0%. under margaret thatcher, who did want to cut down government, it went to a record low of 34%. for you, as a senior conservative mp, do you want to see it rise to 40% and above, which it seems it will do if borisjohnson‘s borrowing plans, his commitment to spend £100 billion on, as you say, transport infrastructure, rolling out new broadband, all sorts of spending plan

it seems to me the conservative party of the next few months, year or two has to make some fundamentalns about what it is and who it is for. there are thatcherite in the conservative represented in the house of commons we re represented in the house of commons were still preoccupied with making government smaller and yet, to deliver for the people we are talking about, who voted tory for the first time in some of the most deprived parts of england, making government smaller will not do. they need government to be more interventionist, more proactive and frankly, to spend more money. interventionist, more proactive and frankly, to spend more moneylj think we will spend more money. i think we will spend more money. i think we will spend more money. i think we are clear, all the parties we re think we are clear, all the parties were clear during the election that were clear during the election that we would invest more in britain's infrastructure. i think the difference between the conservative stop... so the tories are going to borrow? yes, but i think the difference between the conserva

deliberate but in cahoots with in effect nigel farage turned the conservative party into the party yes the big structural thing that there was going going to the conservative party was that they were the brits if it was all united behind the conservative party and they won what looks like 46 percent of the votes almost 7 they voted for breaks it voted for the conservative party because the brics a party became a sort of a dull force throughout the campaign it really lost its influence and everybody for the conservative party to remain as you know there wasn't that same enthusiasm for germany corben there was the lib dems vote and they they squeeze the lib dem voters much they cared for the lib dems it was still there and in the labor party is because it's selling the fence on the backs of the sheep and looks like it's got stuck if you michel barnier watching what's going on right now what's going through his mind well this gives clarity on this 31st of 30 of us to generate the u.k. will definitely believe in the european union by the 31st of january and the big question now is whether

the conservative party, however, is the only party that supports that step, so the conservatives have borisjohnson is going to deliver his central pledge of getting the uk out of the eu. to get an overall majority, the conservatives probably need a lead of around six or seven points, which is not so far below the ten point lead that they seemingly have, but we can‘t rule out the possibility that he might fail. this isn‘t about who wins or loses, it is about how well the conservatives win and if they fail to win adequately enough, even though they might have more seats than labour, borisjohnson could still find himself out on his ear. thank you forjoining us. thank you for that explanation. as the uk goes to the polls tomorrow, european leaders will be meeting in brussels for their end of year summit. british prime minister borisjohnson will not be there of course. he will be a little busy otherwise. but will be represented according to reports in belgium by the new european council president, charles michel. meanwhile, the independent is reporting that it has obtained a leaked recordi

boris johnson chris hopkins works for this event a congress polling firm which has slashed the conservative party's lead over labor to just 5 points he says labor's taken support from another left leaning party the liberal democrats we have seen the labor party make some progress here what they have managed to do throughout the campaign is to squeeze liberal democrat votes were found you know 2060 remain voters were initially considerably more split over whether they would vote for that for labor or for the put them across and what we've come to the conclusion now is that far more are going to vote for the labor party and the lib dems are not going to be good news where as you know for the conservative party they always had quite a significant majority of the lifo and that hasn't really changed the campaign. israel's parliament has voted to dissolve itself sending the country to its 3rd election in less than a year now the prime minister benjamin netanyahu nor his main opponent benny gantz were able to form a governing coalition after september's inconclusive vote us president donald trump has sign
