Brexit with Boris Johnson or a second referendum with Jeremy Corbyn? The British vote Thursday, December 12 for early elections that decide whether or not the United Kingdom of the European Union.
Polling stations will open from 07:00 to 22:00 (local and GMT) in a country mired in Brexit since its vote at 52% in the 2016 referendum.
It is precisely to break the deadlock that the Conservative Prime Minister wanted these legislative elections, the third in four years. He hopes to obtain the absolute majority that he lacked to turn the page of this deeply divisive saga in the United Kingdom.
But if the Tories have always dominated their Labor rivals in the polls, the poll promises to be tight in light of the latest polls.
And the expected showers Thursday, or even the snow in the north, could discourage more than one elector from moving to designate the 650 deputies of the House of Commons in single-round single-round polls (is elected the candidate coming first in his constituency).
An exit poll will be issued at the close of business. The results are expected from 23:00.
