Who will win the 2019 General election in the UK?

A while ago, we did an article on whether there would be a 2019 general election in the UK. We wrote that article due to the dis-contempt among the British people over Brexit... yes again. Why are the British people dis-contempt with Brexit? This has been covered in our previous articles, regarding Brexit, but also the wider internet as a whole.

General Election- Will we get one soon?

Chaos is gripping Downing Street and Parliament. Polls indicate that we are heading for a general election. But why? With a general election looking inevitable, politicians have been scrambling for support. The PM has twice called for a general election at the end of October, but twice has been rejected.

Boris Johnson became the British Prime Minister on July 22 this year after defeating Michael Gove. Michael Gove has said that a no deal Brexit is the most likely outcome with Boris as the Prime Minister. Michael Gove has come out to say 'no deal' brexit is 'inevitable'. He claims that it's due to his Brexiteer status but also that he's 'unwilling' to co-operate with the EU.
