In the UK started early elections

In the UK started early elections. Polling stations opened at 07.00 local time (09.00 GMT). More than 46 million people are eligible to vote in 4 major UK elections, after the referendum in Scotland in 2014 and General elections in 2015 and vote on Brucite in 2016, not to mention the local elections in 2014, 2015 and 2017.

Theresa may has called the election for 3 years ahead of schedule. Voters in all 650 constituencies in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland elect their local MP (Parliament) from more than 3,300 candidates across the UK. In the British system the Prime Minister is the leader of the party able to form a government, and that means he needs the support of the majority of the house of Commons, where MPs sit, or 326 seats.

Only two people have a real chance to become the next Prime Minister: current Prime Minister Theresa may or the labour MP Jeremy Corbyn. Before the election, may had the most votes. She won the seat of Prime Minister in 2015, with Conservative party leader David Cameron, who resigned after the results of the referendum on EU membership. If it maintains this majority, it remains the Prime Minister.

While the terrorist attacks in Manchester and London in recent days, dominated the debate, Britain's decision to leave the European Union is much closer to the election.
