British opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn has apologised to the Labor voters in the British media for the worst election defeat his party suffered in 80 years.
It was evident in advance that Labor was the underdog in the British election on Thursday. Still, the result did not lie: with 202 seats, Jeremy Corbyn’s party was more than 162 seats behind the Boris Johnson Conservatives. The worst result since 1935.
Corbyn puts his hand in his own bosom, but also plays hard at his political opponent Boris Johnson and his “filthy smear campaign.”
Corbyn apologises to Labor voters in an open letter in various British media. “I wanted to reunite the country I love, but I’m sorry we didn’t make it,” Corbyn writes. “I take responsibility for the result.”
However, Corbyn is also aiming at the election campaign of Boris Johnson and his Conservatives. “I am proud that no matter how filthy our opponents played it, we never joined them in the gutter.”
