Prime Minister of Britain Boris Johnson wished Happy New Year to British citizens and pledged to make 2020 a 'fantastic' year for country. Johnson also promised to represent remainers and work with m as 'friends and equals'. British PM said he was 'acutely aware' that millions of people did t vote for him despite achieving a thumping majority in December 12 elections. However, Johnson's mess was unsuccessful in making remainers warmer to ir re-elected PM and called it 'optimism without substance'. 

Johnson said, “I am also acutely aware that re are millions of people who did t vote for me and were disappointed by result. If you are one of m, I want to reassure you that I will be a prime minister for everyone, t just those who voted for me. I kw that you love this country less, simply because you voted for ar party or wanted to remain.”
