Obriens day is the final day of campaigning in britains general election and as party leader scramble to get their message out one last opinion poll as the conservatives ahead it shows the tories on course for a majority of seats in the u. K. Parliament the survey conducted by you gov polling predicts Prime Minister forced johnson will have a narrow majority of about 28. 00 seats but that lead is smaller than polling indicated last month with Jeremy Corbyn the leader of the Opposition Labor Party closing the gap on johnson closer say the brains of outcomes are still possible including a hung parliament. And that dwindling lead was perhaps on johnsons mind as he addressed supporters at an election rally in manchester on tuesday it will because this is a tight fight weve got to get out there go out from this place here much like and spread the word spread the word about how hard this election could be about the risks that this country faces we must get are you joining me now for more on the upcoming u. K. Election is the reporter jonathan will share a 1st of all lets go back now to that poll i mean just give us a few more details because really depending on how you look at this theres maybe good news for labor and the conservatives yes thats right its the final poll before election day its about the number of seats so its really about who gets into the house of commons its not about the percentage of votes the conservative party as you say a getting a modest majority of 28 seats at least the polls predicting but less than 2 weeks ago the same polling organization predicted they would get 68 seats so we should take this with a pinch of salt polls polls and theyre just predictions but this polling in 2017 the same type of polling same model was in fact accurate so it might be quite good indication of whats about to happen the main story is the tories will get a majority in parliament but the other story is the gap is narrowing tween labor and the conservatives labor now are the polls in 2017 doing the same again it seems and so the conservative may have a lead at least according to this polling but that lead slipping i mean whats behind maybe a surge in the polls for labor well this campaign for the conservatives has been all about brings it but for labor its very much been about the National Health service in the u. K. And the tories are trying to win late the seats labor strongholds talking about briggs but labor have come in and theyre relentlessly focusing on the National Health service and thats because for the conservatives the National Health service is seen as their weak point especially from the laid. Supporters or potential labor supporters i just want to give you an example from the campaign there was a photo that went viral of a young boy that was sleeping on the floor of a hospital in the u. K. It was taken by his mother and that photo was shown to Boris Johnson in a t. V. Interview and he didnt want to engage in the topic and he took the journalists phone and put it in his pocket and this was seen as a real gaffe and this is seen as something really really good for labor but whats really interesting is off the woods there was a lot of disinformation about this photo with it was whether it was really real no but the hospital came out of formally apologized suggesting in fact it was real but it gives an indication of the kind of dirty campaigning is going on the in the u. K. Right know now if this poll is right and we do it up then with a small majority for the conservatives what would that mean for u. K. Politics and of course for breakfast as we go at well this whole election is has been touted as one of the most important in the u. K. For an entire generation and thats because of briggs it if johnson does get a majority that means he can push through breaks it by the end of january next year but the devil will be in the details its all about the internal politics in the conservative policy that would define exactly what type of breaks it happens and what kind of deal johnson will try to strike come with the European Union i will one more day of campaigning to go and then we will get real results a reporter john of the mulcher thanks very much well the nobel prizes have been awarded to this years laureates in stockholm but there were protests against one of the winners austrian writer pay to hunt them the decision to give hunk of the 21000. 00 nobel literature prize is controversial his critics say he minimized war crimes committed by serbs during these trepanning massacre in bosnia in the 1990 s.
