Polling Day. I registered to vote in the 2017 UK general election, and as it turned out our polling booth was 30m from the front door.

Fact: For a party to be able to form a Government and its leader to become Prime Minister, it needs to win more than half the seats in the House of Commons – 326. The party that wins the second largest number of seats becomes the main opposition party and its leader the ‘leader of the opposition’. Basic but key.
