U.K. Election News Updates -- December 11, 2019



Daily Mail: Will Boris Johnson get his Brexmas wish? Labour makes MORE gains in latest poll but the Tories are still on course to win a majority with just HOURS to go until general election voting begins

  * The final Opinium survey puts the Conservative Party on 45 per cent and the Labour Party on 33 per cent
  * The Tories are down one per cent when compared to company's previous poll but Labour is up two points
  * Poll suggests that one in ten voters are yet to make up their mind on who to back at the ballot box tomorrow
  * Opinium poll comes after a massive YouGov survey showed Boris Johnson is on course to win 28 seat majority
  * But margin of error on YouGov survey is sufficiently large that a hung parliament is still very real possibility
  * The latest poll numbers came as all the main party leaders embarked on a frantic last day of campaigning

It puts the Tories on 45 per cent overall, down one point on the company's work published last week.

Labour is up two points in the poll to 33 per cent, giving the Tories a 12 point lead as Britain prepares to go to the ballot box.
