Hundreds of protesters flood London streets chanting ‘not my prime minister’ over election results
Several hundred shouting protesters took to the streets of London on Friday to voice their displeasure over the results of Britain’s general election.
The large crowd chanted “Boris Johnson: Not my prime minister” and “Boris, Boris, Boris: Out, out, out,” while holding signs that read, “Defy Tory (Conservative) Rule” and “Refugees Welcome,” Reuters reports.
The protesters, according to the wire service, started at 10 Downing St. and then continued to weave through the streets of London, blocking traffic and drawing heavy police presence.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his Conservative Party won 365 seats in Parliament, well past the 326 seats needed for a majority.
With Johnson retaining power, it’s expected that he will try and make good on his promise of removing the U.K. from the European Union by Jan. 31.
