  • The UK has voted to put the Labour Party back in power, smashing the Tories' 14-year majority.
  • The stunning fall of the right-wing in the country has defied a larger trend in Europe.
  • Germany and France are on the brink of seeing the far-right gain critical mass. It's already won in countries like Italy.

As the dust settles from the UK's general election, it's clear the Tories have lost big.

The results from July 4 were a dramatic rebuke of an incumbent Conservative Party leadership that has governed for 14 years, with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's faction losing more than 240 seats as the count wraps up.
