Why is germany giving him and others like him such a hard time. Plus algeria is holding a president ial election to try to months of political turmoil but prodemocracy protesters say its a farce and are urging voters to boycott the poll and. From the streets itself main stage at glastonbury 1st storm z. Claims the crown as britains king of hip hop. Hello im terry barton good to have you with us people in the u. K. Are about to vote in whats being called the most important election in decades they will determine when how or if the country leaves the european union. Prime minister Boris Johnsons conservative party head looks set to be on track for an absolute majority but while recent polls show jeremy corcorans labor gaining ground meaning its now too close to call. Each of these at the Early Morning images Boris Johnson want to voters to see a Prime Minister turn to milk man dutifully delivering to the public. Thank you. For impressively come on the good morning person Prime Minister oh. But shortly before that johnson and his team were not so composed this time so to come on Good Morning Britain deliver on your promises sort of payson says i know that i have it johnson was caught off guard by a crew from i. T. V. Is Good Morning Britain and he took refuge from the reporters in a phrase a right. But equally a staged was labor leader german koeppen slask day only campaign trail. And jumped at the chance to take a swipe at his main political rival im god you know this ive not come here to the well. I. Think that must change all how i. Cope and will be hoping his message hits home so far polls have not been looking good for labor with most betting on a conservative majority but bookies have seen a shift in recent days and koeppen is at much better all its of becoming Prime Minister however there are no clear favorites among voters. Some honest reviews no change there is no choice. I dont like either of the main candidates have so im struggling. None of them to tell the jury. Decides how the chain exists. Out for themselves and how for us that for themselves that. I will buy i will. Suhana vibe on mind to yeah. This is largely a one issue election still some are trying to focus on other important topics the latest work by renowned street artist banksy highlights the issue of homelessness at christmas time for many of britains poorest brags it is the least of their concerns. Over more lets bring in our u. K. Politics expert force wise and good morning alex so its election day finally in britain polls have just opened we have to have some pictures to show our viewers here see if we can get those up for them no. Thats all right in any case how is it looking there oh there we go we can see a polling station i believe in london and there it is polls have just opened in london so how looking for the main parties in this election alex well as we have just heard the polls have been narrowing throughout the campaign the conservative party and Boris Johnson had about a 10 point average lead over the Main Opposition Party the labor party but over the past few days it has been getting much tighter however the last poll that was taken was showing that possibly there could be a majority for the conservative party of around 28 seats but there are many convience to that and there are many things to play out politically today for example how many people will actually decide to go out on a cold wet day in the u. K. And vote because remember this doesnt happen often you dont get elections in december normally and secondly what about the issue of tactical voting so for example the conservatives foreign minister the foreign minister in his particular seat hes only around about 2 points ahead of his liberal democrat rival even those in the neighbor policy so votes as you would normally vote labor are being encouraged vote democrat to get dont rob out will we see that play out of. The rest of the u. K. Search could be important and were just looking at some pictures now from a polling station doesnt look like theres a great storm of voters showing up at 7 oclock courses still very early days there now this election was triggered by the governments inability to get clarity on braggs it would have the parties been telling voters about their plans for settling that issue once and for all vote Boris Johnsons been very clear 3 words get bricks it done the liberal democrats have also been very clear theyve said they want to scrap bricks it all together they want to revoke article 50 of the lisbon treaty so pretend it almost never happened and labor have been the most interesting theyve had this torturous debate about where do they go on bricks it because they know that many of their support is voted for bricks it so their final decision is they would like if the e. U. Agrees to renegotiate a dale put it back to the people in a referendum sit on the fence and say which way they will encourage people to vote and see what happens its quite complicated for them but i think throughout this campaign although brecht has been important have been all the big issues here for example Public Services and health that has been hurting Boris Johnson and his conservative party and also it has been a pretty dirty Nasty Campaign out that many people are upset about the amount of misinformation that has been put out particularly in political ads on social media which should be difficult to track and difficult to find out really who is behind some of them. If johnsons conservatives do when there is and get the majority with the numbers youve mentioned maybe 28 seats majority in parliament what happens next good question what we think Boris Johnson will do is bring back his breakfast deal the Withdrawal Agreement to parliament before christmas to try to get it through possibly even as early as next week its basically. Any time he can do it and then take the u. K. Out of the e. U. By the 31st of january that was the final brecks it deadline that brussels gave the u. K. There that is not though the end of it thats what we have to remember here Boris Johnson saying that were going to get a great trade deal with the e. U. Well get it by the end of next year most experts though is saying hes not going to be possible and the less you go with everything the Brussels Office you and you just say yes which im not sure Boris Johnson would do anyway so even after this election theres still going to be briggs it briggs upgrades it in the u. K. To talk about the rate say. Oh its course one thing thank you so much.
