PM Johnson managed to get his December 12th election on the second attempt after the Labour party dropped its opposition. This marks only the third-time in modern UK political history that election are held in the winter, but many saw this as the only way to break the impasse. The socialist Labour Party, the pro-EU Liberal Democrats and the Scottish National Party will try to win seats from Johnson’s Tories, but polls favor a big win for the Conservatives. A lot of things can change over the next six weeks and the British Pound will likely face volatile and uncertain times.
