YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSeveral dozen people gathered in London on Friday to oppose the general election results appointing Prime Minister Boris Johnson into office.
Johnson's gamble on early elections paid off as voters gave the UK prime minister a commanding majority to take the country out of the European Union by the end of January, a decisive result after more than three years of stalemate over Brexit.
Protesters marched near the Prime Minister's office shouting slogans against the newly elected leader and his ruling Conservative party.
"I was disappointed with the vote for Jeremy Corbyn and Labour but I think now is not the time to give up, now's the time to take to the streets and get rid of him (Boris Johnson)," said one protester.
Johnson's promise to "get Brexit done″ and widespread unease with opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn's leadership style and socialist policies combined to give the ruling Conservative Party 365 seats in the House of Commons.
Corbyn's Labour Party slumped to 203 seats, 59 fewer than they won two years ago, vote totals showed Friday.
