UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his Conservative Party were poised to score a massive victory over their rival Labour Party in a general election Thursday night, paving the way for a split from the European Union, exit polling showed.

Johnson and the Tories were expected to win as many as 368 seats in the UK House of Commons, compared to the Labour Party — led by leftist Jeremy Corbyn — who were expected to win just 191.

Corbyn announced in an early morning speech he would not lead his party in a future general election, but would continue to serve as the MP for his seat in London.

“I will discuss with our party to ensure there is a process now of reflection on this result and on the policies that the party will take going forward,” Corbyn said soon after being elected to his 10th term to his seat in parliament.

The expected Tory victory would be the highest number of seats the conservatives have held since Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister in the 1980s.

The Labour Party would hold the lowest number of seats it’s had since 1935.

Johnson did not mention the favorable exit polls Thursday evening, but thanks voters who turned out in the election.

“Thank you to everyone across our great country who voted, who volunteered, who stood as candidates,” he wrote in a Tweet.

“We live in the greatest democracy in the world,” he added.

The Conservative victory also means the UK will likely move forward with its long-delayed split from the European Union, as Johnson campaigned on a “get Brexit done” platform.

Johnson claimed during the campaign that if the Tories were victorious in Thursday’s election — which was called two years ahead of schedule — he would get parliament to approve a Brexit deal and take the UK out of the union by the Jan. 31 deadline.

The exit polls show Johnson’s Brexit message resonated with voters across the UK, as Conservatives picked up seats from typical Labour strongholds, fracturing the so-called “Red Wall.”

During the campaign, Corbyn and the Labour Party pivoted away from Brexit and focused on domestic policies such as nationalizing rail travel in the UK and taxing the rich.

The strategy proved disastrous — and voters were clearly focused on the split from the EU when they went to the polls, one Labour leader said Thursday night.

“I think Brexit has dominated, it has dominated everything by the looks of it,” Labour economy spokesman John McDonnell said after the exit polls were released, which he called “extremely disappointing.”

“We thought other issues could cut through and there’d be a wider debate. From this evidence it clearly wasn’t,” McDonnell added of Brexit.

The Sottish National Party also scored a clear victory in Thursday’s election, with exit polls showing they could control more than 50 seats in Westminster.

The party’s leader, Nicola Sturgeon, is expected to formally request a second Scottish independence referendum if her party does indeed capture the large majority of seats.
