It's interesting watching people's reactions to this election result. Depending on who you are, it means very different things!
It's very interesting, The_Donald on reddit has been in complete support of Boris winning and they do seem to see it exactly as their win with Trump. The majority of my left leaning friends/groups have generally had the opposite reaction.
The left leaning media are continuing their 'blame Russia' stance too from what I've seen.
Britain needs its own Mueller report on Russian ‘interference’
The British political system has become thoroughly compromised by Russian influence. It’s high time its institutions – including the media – woke up to that fact. In 2016, both the United Kingdom and the United States were the targets of Russian efforts to swing their votes. The aim was to weaken the alliances that had constrained Vladimir Putin’s ambitions, such as the European Union and Nato.
The efforts in both countries had much in common. They were aided by a transatlantic cast of characters loosely organised around the Trump and Brexit campaigns. Many of them worked in concert and interacted with Russians close to the Kremlin. The outcome in both countries was also eerily similar. Both countries have been at war with themselves in the three years since, pulling them back from the international stage at a time when Putin has consolidated his position in Crimea, Ukraine, Syria and beyond.
