Voters the length and breadth of the United Kingdom will tomorrow cast their votes in the country’s third general election since 2014, and the stakes could hardly be higher. Foremost, there’s the question of Brexit. A majority vote for the incumbent Conservative Party and Prime Minister Boris Johnson will lead to a Brexit deal being put to the new government ahead of the Jan. 31 deadline set by European Union leaders. Should the opposition Labour Party pull off a surprise victory, Brexit as envisioned by Johnson and his supporters will be waylaid. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has outlined plans for a tightly managed exit deal, which he says he will put to the nation in the form of another referendum. The differences of opinion between the leading parties on policy and economy, needless to say, do not end there.
