France welcomes apparently decisive UK vote

France welcomes Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s apparently decisive victory in Britain’s election, a minister says, adding it could help ensure an orderly Brexit.

“If the exit poll results are confirmed it should allow for a clear majority, something that has been missing in the United Kingdom for several years,” European affairs minister Amelie de Montchalin says.

“It’s not for me to be relieved — or worried — but, along with the president, we’ve been saying for several months: ‘We need clarity’,” she says, referring to President Emmanuel Macron.
