Divided Britain heads to the polls
--------------------------------------
With the UK deeply divided over Brexit, how people voted in the 2016 referendum is key to which party they will support in the election
--------------------------------------
BREXIT VOTE: Narrow victory for Leave voters in 2016.
Appeals for second referendum denied by Conservative
government, but promised by Labour if they win election* 2016 Outcome could be determined by concentration of voters:

60% Leave voters back Conservatives 
40% Remain voters support Labour

2016
LEAVE: 51.89%
REMAIN: 48.11%
--------------------------------------
NORTHERN IRELAND
(18 seats in Westminster, voted Remain in EU). Pro-EU nationalist parties Sinn Fein and SDLP have agreed electoral pact that could threaten two Democratic Unionist Party seats
--------------------------------------
WALES
(40 seats in Westminster, voted Leave EU).
Labour dominant in last 26 elections but now level in polls with Conservatives at just below 30% – down 20 points on 2017. Pact between Brexit- opposing Lib Dems, Plaid Cymru and Greens could be significant
--------------------------------------
SCOTLAND (59 seats in Westminster, voted Remain in EU): Scottish National Party pushing for second referendum on independence (proposal rejected in 2014 ballot)
--------------------------------------
ENGLAND (533 seats in Westminster, voted Leave EU). Most fiercely contested seats, with Conservatives targeting Labour constituencies in north and Midlands that voted Leave, and Liberal Democrats and Labour eyeing Tory seats that voted Remain
--------------------------------------
ELECTION: DEC 12, 2019
--------------------------------------
*Not re-run of 2016, but choice of leaving with Labour deal or remaining in EU
