What are the hard lessons for Europe’s young leftist party activists, including Germany’s SPD, from Jeremy Corbyn’s 2019 defeat in the UK?

What are the hard lessons for Europe and wider geopolitics from Boris Johnson’s victory in the 2019 British general election?

Final polls cast some doubt over a Conservative majority.

If Johnson does not win a majority, it would be a major defeat for him and some kind of technical government would have to be formed — mainly to organize a new referendum.

Jeremy Corbyn’s personal irresponsibility and vanity may finally deliver Brexit.

Progress, but does Boris have the numbers?
