Britain is braced for its first December general election since 1923 as all of the major parties battle for the right to take the lead on Brexit. If Boris Johnson and the Tories win a majority at the pre-Christmas poll then he will deliver his Brexit deal. If Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party win a majority then he will facilitate a second referendum on the UK's departure from the EU. If Jo Swinson and the Liberal Democrats defy the odds to win a majority she will revoke Article 50 and cancel Brexit on day one of her government taking office. Meanwhile, a strong performance at the ballot box for Nigel Farage and the Brexit Party will bolster his calls for a 'clean break' No Deal departure from the bloc. And if Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP are able to increase their tally of MPs it will boost demands for a second referendum on Scottish independence. The forthcoming election is likely to be one of the most volatile in the history of British politics. These are 10 of the key battleground seats which are likely to determine the UK's Brexit fate. 1.
