LONDON - Britain is expected to hold an election next month that will determine the outcome of its three-year Brexit crisis, with each of the major parties taking a different stance toward how, when and whether the country should leave the European Union.
The Conservatives won 318 out of 650 seats at the 2017 election. This made them the largest party, but to be certain of a majority in parliament they had to make a deal with Northern Ireland’s Democratic Unionist Party, which won 10 seats. Labour would then put this new deal to the public in a referendum which offered the choice between the Labour Brexit deal and remaining in the EU.Labour won 262 seats in 2017, making them the second largest party. The party currently trails the Conservatives in opinion polls published in October, but estimates of the gap vary between 16 percentage points and 3 percentage points.The Liberal Democrats want to stop Brexit altogether.
In 2010, the Liberal Democrats won 57 seats and formed a coalition government with the Conservatives.The SNP is anti-Brexit and wants to see Scotland become an independent country inside the EU. They are staunchly opposed to a no-deal Brexit and would support a second referendum on whether to leave the EU. The party opposes Johnson’s Brexit deal.
