Today in what has been called the most important vote in a generation. This could solidify conservative Boris Johnsons pot as Prime Minister, paving the way for breaks it, or if the labor leader wins, send britain toward a new referendum. Catherine norrison is outside a polling station in southern london. Will come on this chilly day. What more can you tell us about what is happening with the vote .

But it could have been even worse if he had said i am going to go for it and then he is knocked out of the first round of the socialist primary in january. Opinion polls were showing that he would be beaten by at least two candid
