Content: Because of this fact, the 2019 General Election is sometimes referred to as the Brexit Election. Labour's defeat led to Jeremy Corbyn conceding defeat and announcing his intention to resign, triggering a leadership election won by Keir Starmer. For Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson, the loss of her constituency's seat compelled her to resign as well, causing an internal crisis in the party and triggering a leadership election. The party's leader in Wales, Jane Dodds, was also unseated. For the SNP leader, Nicola Sturgeon, her party's landslide victory in Scotland led to renewed calls for a second independence referendum, to which the Conservative Party had expressed its opposition before and during the election. In Northern Ireland, nationalist MPs outnumbered unionist ones for the first time in history, although the unionist popular vote remained higher (43.1 per cent). Speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow resigned the Speakership as a result of the election being called, and the current Speaker, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, was subsequently elected. 2010 election
