Election Day. . .

in the United Kingdom, that is.

Today the British go to the polls, again, in an election called on October 29.

Yes, the British are deciding major political and policy matters with only a month and a half lead in time.

If only. . .

Well anyhow, the theoretical contenders for control of parliament, together with who would be PM if they should win, and their present share of the last vote, are: 1) Conservatives (Boris Johnson), 42.4%; 2) Laboour (Jeremy Corbyn), 40.0%; 3) Scottish Nationalist Party (Nicola Sturgeon) 3%; 4) Liberal Democrats (Jo Swinson) 7.4%; 5)  Democratic Unionist Party (Arlene Foster) .9%; and 6) Sinn Fein (Mary Lou McDonald) .7%.

Rather obviously, only Johnson or Corbyn will emerge the PM.

Corbyn has made a lot of news recently for anti semetic statements.  Johnson, of course, has made a lot of news for being Johnson.  Johnson is attempting to secure a pure majority, which he lacks, in order to push Brexit through.
