Hail Britannia – and the rebirth of its sovereignty!

The people of the United Kingdom have spoken – and done so decisively. They have powerfully affirmed Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s promise to get Brexit done at last and given him the huge majority in Parliament needed to do that.

No less impressive than his mandate, though, was the British voters’ stunning repudiation of Jeremy Corbyn, the radical leftist and anti-Semite who led the Labor Party to its worst electoral showing since the 1930s.

It remains to be seen how fast Boris will extricate his country from the European Union and whether its own union with pro-“Remainers” in Scotland and Northern Ireland will be sundered in the process.

This much seems clear, however: A restoration of British sovereignty will be good for the “special” U.S.-U.K. relationship – and an encouragement to millions of Americans equally hostile to socialism and other threats to freedom.
