The triumph of Boris Johnson in the UK general election and His mandate to "get Brexit done" are indisputable to pundits around The World , But hard questions continue about the benefits of Britain leaving the EU, as Well as Mr Johnson's ability to deliver Brexit to deadline and His character.

'Boris is unstoppable now'

"" is how the New York Times describes it. "" says the Washington Post.

Russia's NTV channel puts it down to "The Magic of the simple and annoying slogan".

His gamble on a snap election resulted in " for The Party and a personal triumph", says Canada's Globe and Mail.

"," agrees France's Le Monde .

"Boris is unstoppable now," says a correspondent for Russia's NTV Mir channel

But some compliments are backhanded.

This story of " [is] one about a party leader, derided as a charlatan and famous for His fondness for half-truths, who nonetheless was able to win The Trust of millions," says a commentary on Australia's national broadcaster ABC.

"The seemingly Teflon-coated despite - or possibly due to - His capacity for attracting attention," says the Irish Independent .

Greater certainty over Brexit?

Mr Johnson's greater majority means "he will be able to pass His withdrawal agreement through Parliament . . Without difficulty, of halting Britain's departure from the EU", says the Irish Times.

It "", says the Dutch financial paper Het Financieele Dagblad. "The Prime Minister will be less dependent on the hard Brexiteers in His party, which could simplify negotiations. "

But blame for division is not laid entirely at the government's feet.

"A system of government in which The Winners take all is in a permanent state of political Civil War , or it becomes a dictatorship. So, ," a commentary in the Dutch daily NRC Handelsblad notes. "If not, these elections will not stop the political decay. "

"The election result is important But it is only one of The Elements of a more fundamental Process - and British identity itself," says Russia's financial daily Kommersant. "New conditions will require New Faces in politics, New Party approaches and, possibly, new rules of The Game , as Well . "
