In prime time, Britain's election campaign was about the climate crisis. However, Boris Johnson apparently had little appetite for this discussion and told the channel 4 Channel. However, those in charge did not want to let themselves sit so easily. Instead of the premier, they put an ice sculpture with the caption "Conservatives" (Conservatives) into the studio, which slowly faded during the debate.
Johnsons Tories are now anything but amused by the swipe of the TV channel. They believe that those responsible have partiality and have complained to the British media regulator. In fact, TV stations in the country are required to act impartially.
However, Channel 4 is also quite aggressive. The station's lead news editor, Ben de Pear, told the Johnson party, "Put your leader Boris Johnson next to the other party leaders and stop the games, do not refuse and threaten us with license revocation - this is a dangerous one Path."
In fact, the Tories had rejected Johnson's participation in the run-up to the debate, but offered minister Michael Gove. The transmitter had rejected its participation but, among other things, on the grounds that the other party leaders had not agreed.
Polls show positive trend for the Tories
The British elect a new parliament on 12th December. And if you believe in the latest opinion poll from the YouGov opinion poll for the Times, everything looks like a victory for Prime Minister Johnson and his Tory party. The survey was published in the night to Thursday.
If elected this Thursday, the Tories would get 359 out of 650 seats - 42 more than at the last election in 2017. The opposition Labor party of Jeremy Corbyn, on the other hand, would only conquer 211 seats, 51 less than last. The Scottish National Party (SNP) of Scottish Prime Minister Nicola Sturgeon would have 43 seats, the Liberal Democrats 13.
Thus the Tories would have a majority of 68 seats. According to Labor, the second worst defeat after the war begins. In other polls, the Tories were clearly ahead of the other parties. Britain has a majority vote; only those who get the majority in one of the 650 constituencies will get the corresponding seat in parliament.
