UK votes again in favor of pro-Brexit Conservative party

Pharmaceutical leaders in the UK have responded positively to the outcome of the British general election on Friday, which returned Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson to power with a large majority.

The third national poll within just five years, the UK has struggled to overcome political deadlock caused by disagreements over the country’s impending departure from the European Union (EU).

That uncertainty had led pharmaceutical leaders in the country to caution against the prospect of a so-called “hard Brexit,” with many worrying that the supply of drugs into the UK could be disrupted.
