UK heads into charged Brexit polls today
 

Hengoed, United Kingdom: Britain’s feuding party leaders criss-crossed the country on Wednesday in a frantic push for votes on the eve of a highly-charged general election aimed at finally settling the Brexit crisis.Polls open on Thursday for the third time in four years in what is widely seen as a re-run of the 2016 referendum in which a narrow majority opted to pull Britain out of the European Union. Boris Johnson, has spent the campaign hammering home a “Get Brexit Done” message aimed solely at winning a majority that could let him get the deal passed by the end of next month.Yet a closely watched poll showed his Conservatives´ lead over the main opposition Labour party led by Jeremy Corbyn narrowing. The YouGov study said the Tories were on course for a 28-seat majority in the 650-seat House of Commons under Britain’s first-past-the-post system. It had forecast a 68-seat edge in a poll released on November 27.“A Conservative majority is the most likely outcome but a hung parliament remains entirely plausible,” said University of Kent professor Matthew Goodwin. A result in which the biggest party does not command a majority raises the possibility of Brexit being delayed for years or even cancelled in a second referendum.Turnout will be vital in Britain´s first December election in nearly a century. Rain and even snow are forecast for parts of election day.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/com/cwEr/~4/OouQv1E-FfA
