Conservatives took 364 seats.
Labour Party took 203.
In Scotland, the Scottish Nationalist Party took 48.
The United Kingdom, Scottish protests aside, will leave the EU. This will probably occur by the end of January.
A new British immigration system will be ushered in which will be similar to the Australian one, requiring immigrants to have a job before entering the country. EU citizens will have no preference over non EU immigrants.
Scottish nationalist will howl, but their ability to impact anything will decline. Indeed, this result can be partially attributed to the fact that a referendum occurred on Scottish independence some years ago, something that was wholly unnecessary under the law but which boosted the power of Scottish nationalist, something which had been largely absent before that. They'll howl now, but they'll be along for the ride, like it or not.
The Labour Party will start to reform and retreat from the hard left positions it was espousing.
The EU will be weakened significantly. Anti EU sentiment exists in numerous localities within the EU itself, particularly outside of the few dominant nations, but even within them. And the resurgence of the British right will lead to a resurgence in the European right as well, which is much further to the right than the British right is.
