took the seat of joe swinson the liberal democrat leader with 48 of scotland's 59 seats in the westminster parliament they say the message to london could have been clearer. but in the scottish capital already home to the devolved parliament not everyone agrees that another independence vote is now more likely. under left. so. i think you're i think quite honestly stop pollution scotland. referendum hopefully happens this time and. when scotland held a public vote on independence 5 years ago the result was a clear no but in 20 sixteen's breaks it referendum 62 percent of scottish votes were to remain with a no deal breaks it at the end of next year is still a possibility the s.n.p. says it's fighting to protect scotland's economic interests she says she's got a clear mandate for a fresh independence referendum and nicolas sturgeon's determined to make the most of her moments but just how much leverage will she have over boris johnson this expert says while in the short term little will change the direction of travel is clear the certainty would come after the scottish parliament elections

it's also been a disastrous evening for the liberal democrats with their leader joe swinson losing her seat they didn't make any real serious dent in terms of the number of seats one serving only really to pick up a few seats here and now of course gmo. not coming close to kensington but actually perhaps helping the tourists that see the evidence code one and as far as. supposed to be she says that she still holds out hope that the u.k. can remain a generous country. let me say no. for millions of people in our country. these results will bring dread and dismay and people are looking for hope. i still believe that we as a country can be warm and generous inclusive and open and that by working together with our nearest neighbors we can achieve so much more. and that indication of just how the dissolution has gone from the labor party perspective said true which was tony blair's old seat see there's a real safe seat that's going to the tories as is both of the veteran and the dennis skinner. is there any thank you very much in day for plenty of points that you made that point to what you

but only after a successor has been chosen probably next year the leader of the liberal democrats joe swinson has already resigned after she lost his seat as an m.p. it was one of many that went to the scottish national party fuelling leader nicholas sturgeon's hopes that she could get another referendum on scotland breaking away from the u k. china angela reports. boris johnson is welcomed back to downing street. after the conservatives radically reconfigured britain's political map that biggest majority since 1000 into the 2nd i proud to say that members of our new one nation government a people's government will set out from constituencies that have never returned a conservative m.p. for a 100 years and yes they will have been able i mean mandate from this election to get it done and we will honor that mandate by general the 31st striking a more grateful note johnson thank labor voters for swapping sides of his promise now to embrace all and deliver grex that i say thank you for the trust you have placed in us and in me. and we will work round the clock to repay your trust and to deliver o

took the seat of joe swinson the liberal democrat leader with 48 of scotland's 59 seats in the westminster parliament they say the message to london couldn't be clearer. but in the scottish capital already home to the devolved parliament not everyone agrees that another independence vote is now more likely. under left. so. i think you're i think quite honestly start punishing scotland as. referendum hopefully happens this time and. when scotland held a public vote an independence 5 years ago the result was a clear no but in 20 sixteen's breaks it referendum 62 percent of scottish votes were to remain with a no deal breaks it at the end of next year is still a possibility the s.n.p. says it's fighting to protect scotland's economic interests she says she's got a clear mandate for a fresh independence referendum and nicolas sturgeon's determined to make the most of her moments but just how much leverage will she have over boris johnson this expert says while in the short term little will change the direction of travel is clear the certainty would come after the scottish parliament elections

korman says he will know its lead labor into the next election for the liberal democrats their head joe swinson even lost her seats the party leaders reacted to a historic night in whispers. a bride to say that members of our new one nation government a people's government will sit tight from constituencies that have never returned a conservative m.p. for 100 years and yes they will have an overwhelming mandate from this election to get it done and we will honor that mandate by general the 31st will not lead the party in any future general election campaign i will discuss with our party. to ensure there is a process now of reflection on this result and on the policies that the party will take going forward look prime minister has already gone through the from multi of meeting the queen to be granted permission to form a government out of tradition in britain with special election coverage from wrapped up we can discuss the big talking points with correspondent daniel hawkins who joins me here in the moscow danielle good to see you how much of a surprise was this for the conservative party it's

thought jeremy cooper was having a bad night and spare a thought for poor old liberal democrat leader joe swinson who failed not only to make her own party attractive she didn't even get elected as an m.p. herself the leader of the scottish national party nicholas sturgeon well she was speaking for all of us when she reacted to swinson is demise like this was. absent when she won't be laughing when she asks boris for another scottish independence of. politics it's a nasty business in the wake of a conservative cleanup of r t u k discussed what it means for all the books for the all but inevitable breaks. i think the size of the majority was a surprise for a lot of people and a really fantastic result for for the coals given the fact that we've got a conservative government would things would be very different boris was trying to operate and to negotiate with one arm tied behind his back throughout these negotiations to the fact that everything that he submitted parliament did their best to block he's now no longer in that situation so i think he can be a lot more shall we say forceful as we move

scotland one of which one of the key ones that they managed to secure was stealing none other than joe swinson the liberal democrat leaders seat in eastern barton sure that's a crucial crucial significant seat that the s.n.p. have won significantly so that the lib dems are just on 10 seats at this point in time very very difficult evening for the lib dems but equally for the exit party a total wipeout it seems to be just a few more seats now to declare within the next few minutes of course it's all what matters most but when we look at the percentage vote share that's also equally interesting because it paints quite a bleak picture indeed. again for the labor party there is now 1212 percentages between the conservatives and the labor party just 2 years ago back in 2017 in the last general election that percentage was much much closer just 2 percent were in it so it does suggest the 2 are now miles and miles apart interestingly again though the lib dems have got 11 and simply have called for but that doesn't equate to see numbers because of course the lib dems have less seats than the s. and p.

before we get to talking about the fallout and everything else i just asked him what do you think of joe swinson speech well that i can ever recall somebody banking their sort of final speeches either in such a negative way and i mean i think one thing that's always you know about this she's been one of the main people driving this accusation by a bus in demick t.n.t. semitic and so on you actually look at the facts we've now got once jeremy got rid of the old general surgeon brought in a very good woman who got on top of this we found that 120th of one percent of labor's members have tweeted something and he's admitting they've been suspended or expelled but all of the media headlines use as though we were in you know party or something it was absolutely over the top but frankly the establishment is so terrified of that jeremy go and he was a guest on for their tax dodging so they do anything to avoid a serious debate about the real issues you know frankly to define that the labor party i mean. i've been in the labor party for 50 years i heard one racist comment back in 1970 when one of our mem

is not only has jeremy corbin's he's retained his seat but he's overseeing a massive defeat but joe swinson the leader of the 3rd party she's actually lost her seat stay with us here outta there. over a year protesters across france have demanded economic justice police have responded with mass arrests i'm a true grade weapons to constrain the movement do you think he could have been mistaken between aiming at your head all you access all those people in power has been in france to investigate the escalation of violence and ask what this means for free speech and the democratic rights of its citizens police on trial on al-jazeera. news is happening faster than ever before from different places from different people and you need to be part of back you need to be able to reach people wherever they are and that means being across all social media platforms this is where our audience lives as well as in front of a t.v. they're on the smartphone they're on the tablet they're on their computer. and that's the way al-jazeera is of all into a true media network. the shocking treatment of disabled p

thought jeremy corbyn was having a bad night and spare a thought for poor old liberal democrat leader joe swinson who failed not only to make her own party attractive she didn't even get elected as an m.p. herself the leader of the scottish national party nicolas sturgeon well she was speaking for all of us when she reacted to swinson demise like this was. of the way she won't be laughing when she asks boris for another scottish independence of. politics it's a nasty business. in the wake of that conservative clean up party u.k. discussed what it means for the all but inevitable brags that. it to all intents and purposes the selection in the end became a back seat election which in itself was a defect or a referendum and therefore in that context it is some of this and see that light of it is interesting that the voting areas at. west brom and shouldn't have been in them embrace the conservative party in many large majorities then than in the leafy suburbs the sorry i don't see a referendum taking place now you know if it's a case of ever wanting to rejoin the e.u. it will be as an absolute assad

key most significant ones is stealing liberal democrat leader now form a liberal democrat leader joe swinson seat in eastern boston she has now resigned as a result of losing her seat but equally. resigned because of the very poor amount of seats that she has managed to get up and down the united kingdom if we also look at the party here a complete total wipeout for them although there are still around 5 votes still to claire but probably probably they will not be able to secure any of them so seats are the key numbers headis this morning but when we look further into detail looking at the voting percentage we're still seeing quite a bleak picture being painted for the labor party when we look at the percentages i think we can just get them up here on screen that they all right we can see that the conservatives have 44 percent the labor party on 32 percent that is a 12 point difference which is very very different from the 2017 general election where they were just 2 percentage points between them interestingly the liberal democrats have put 11 percent of the vote however they have managed t

position themselves as the remain party but this is also been a disastrous night for them not only was joe swinson not going to be the prime minister she said before the election that she was confident she could be you know even an m.p. and he more she lost her seat and in the subsequent hours following that result also stood down as leader of the liberal democrats. let me say no. for millions of people in our country. these results will bring dread and dismay and people are looking for hope. i still believe that we as a country can be warm and generous inclusive and open and that by working together with our nearest neighbors we can achieve so much more. it is also a very very poor night in terms of the labor party's performance as well they well they got more votes in 2010 if you look at it how many votes they got but in terms of the number of c's this is their worst performance in almost a century they've just about got over 200 seats really a disappointing from their perspective and it was ultimately for. and this breaks that which cost many say some within the party former deputy leader tom w

the next election in time the liberal democrats making their wounds too in that camp their head joe swinson in lost his seat is that the party leaders reacted to a story day in westminster. proud to say that members of our new one nation government a people's government will sit tight from constituencies that have never returned a conservative m.p. for 100 years and yes they will have a ruling mandate from this election to get done and we will honor that mandate by general the 31st will not lead the party in any future general election campaign i will discuss with our parting to ensure there is a process now of reflection on this result and on the policies that the party will take going forward so while the conservatives are celebrating winning the largest majority since 987 hundreds of people turned up for so-called stop forest protest some demonstrators were seen clashing with police in the capital i was discussing the victory live with hawkins in the studio here when such could take this report from london of the stop forest protester at the center of the city. while they said there woul

well of course before this election we have been hearing lots from joe swinson she took a very strong program a position and was even confident that she could paps be the prime minister following this election well she's not apartment in fact she's not even a member of parliament anymore because she lost her seat last night and since then she has stood down pops on surprisingly as leader of the labor party. let me say no. for millions of people in our country. these results will bring dread and dismay and people are looking for hope. i still believe that we as a country can be warm and generous inclusive and open and that by working together with our nearest neighbors we can achieve so much more. it was also a very difficult evening for the labor party in terms of seats it was one of their worst performances in fact the worst since the 1930 s. and they just about called over the 200 seats can turns a vote count they managed to get the vote a better result in 2010 but due to the way the 1st 4 supposed system works and the split of the votes was very important in this election campaign

election meantime over the liberal democrat camp there licking their wounds tonight their head joe swinson even lost her seat down hawkins is in the studio with me in a bit to discuss the latest events but 1st here's how the party leaders reacted to in a story today of westminster proud to say that members of a new one nation government a people's government will search out from constituencies that have never returned a conservative in the 1st. 100 years and yes they will have an overwhelming mandate from this election to get bricks it done and we will honor that mandate by general the 31st will not lead the party in any future general election campaign i will discuss with our party to ensure there is a process now of reflection on this result and on the policies that the party will take going forward so the prime minister is already gone through the formality of meeting the queen to be granted permission to form a government that's a tradition in britain all votes counted and i was in korma was the last of the clear confirming the tories of an 80 seat majority given lots of lay within the

example of anti-racism that the labor party should be in and squeezed between the 2 main parties is joe swinson of the liberal democrats her party strategy has shifted from trying to get to 10 downing street to taking seats away from boris johnson a point of voting liberal democrat is to have more lib dems pays who will work to stop breaks and invariably has failed labor he won't miss a meal and in very many parts of the country it's liberal democrats who are taking on the conservatives and whether. the labor minded voters decide to block the liberal democrats in lots of seats will help to determine whether or not boris johnson has a majority the latest polls suggest the conservatives could secure a majority but the polls got it wrong when it came to the e.u. referendum as well as predicting that they would win a majority in the 2017 election if there is a hung parliament boris johnson will face a challenge trying to find partners to prop him up as will jeremy corbin the liberal democrats have refused to partner with either leader the political quagmire could throw britain's future in the e.u.

election meantime over the liberal democrats count their licking their wounds to win their head joe swinson even lost his seat so we're going to go live to london shortly says cattail as their people are taking this information were some taken to the streets we can tell you for and against the vote today making the feel and said will come about that hawkins is in the studio as well but we feel we've got a down hi there let's 1st in take 40 seconds or so to see how the party leaders reacted to this historic day night in westminster proud to say that members of our new one nation government a people's government will sit out from constituencies that have never returned a conservative m.p. for 100 years and yes they will have an overwhelming mandate from this election to get done and we will honor that mandate by general the 31st will not lead the party in any future general election campaign i will discuss with our party to ensure there is a process now of reflection on this result and on the policies that the party will take going forward. so then from my lips he's done the promises are alre

will take going forward it's been a bad night for the pro remain liberal democrats to their leader joe swinson unseated by the scottish national party and her constituency for millions of people in our country. these results will bring dread and dismay. and people are looking for hope. but some commentators worry about the tactics employed by the conservatives in this campaign boris johnson used all the tricks in the book and i guess it's what i worry that every future political party will say that's the way to do it if you want to win and that actually over time will undermine our democracy and our ability to actually discuss big issues labor must now go through a period of deep and painful self-analysis called an ism is being tested twice and it's failed twice johnson's victory means the u.k. will almost certainly leave the e.u. by january 31st you can get breaks but what kind of brics it's in reality it has barely begun. johnson's withdrawal agreement has a clear path free parliament but unless the threat of a no deal breaks it is to return he has to secure an e.u. trade deal before the bri

source it is an act of madness and the reason it was obviously the case i do think this is that joe swinson started this she. probably the worst leader of any well the party has ever been i think she was very poor that was and she took a very narrow perspective which was what's best for le liberal democrats not given that she claimed that her great thing was europe not what was best to keep britain in the european union and so she was a disgraceful decision by her then coburn fell into the trap and that's what led to it and it was the liberal democrat self interest and she paid a heavy price for that so i wasn't just joe swenson was that. the whole liberal democrats were gung ho for an election f. what i think in complete idiotic delusion by the liberal democrats i know exactly why they did it because i was speaking to them they thought they could sweep up 48 percent of the vote 48 percent of voted remain and they thought that they would. have a massive lift just once and her team may not have thought she was actually going to be prime minister but there was seriously thinking they were goi

for a one nation government anything but for the opposition parties we know about labor's was but joe swinson the leader of the liberal democrats lost her own seat and he's done back in charlotte a while ago. an appalling election for the liberal democrats who if any party wanted an election to be about breaks it they did but their message completely failed yeah i mean i think i think labor's bad night will mean the liberal democrats but not might fall under the radar slightly but they are staring at another leadership election best area not hardly making any gains i think they might have made there is potential them to have made gains on on their performance in 2017 possibly by want to. see they had so many defections in the last parliament that in fact they will lose seats for one palm was dissolved. it's just been a mess is that hasn't resonated and they were polling at 202122 percent only a few months ago i'm not just completely fall away and it's very dissimilar to what happened in 2010 when the more people saw nick clegg the more people like him still of the electoral system disadvantag

thank you and i've been shared by the liberal democrat leader joe swinson the party's defining policy is to remain firmly in the e.u. . it's 96 years since britain last held an election in december and both of us up and down the country are out braving hostile weather to cast their ballots they're choosing $650.00 m. piece to represent them politicians who will decide britain's future either in or out of the european union. is expected to be a close race everyone is very confused everyone is deeply divided. families friends. and away i don't think i have seen before in elections in my life i think it's very tense very upset on both sides of the argument polls close at 10 pm g.m.t. exit polls we publish straight away with the 1st official results mode a few hours later the park al-jazeera london. now in the u.k. the party that gets to govern needs to secure. and 10 is particularly crucial in this election where the future of breck's it as a major focus how will the government be decided paul bettany explains the united kingdom is divided into $650.00 electoral constituencies which each
