UK, (Daily Mail), 12 December 2019 -  Voters were stuck in the biggest queues seen at polling stations for years today as millions took part in Britain’s most important election for a generation with their decision expected to make-or-break Brexit.   

Thousands snaked around the block outside schools, village halls, churches, pubs and other community buildings in the wet and cold to exercise their democratic right at the UK’s 50,000 polling stations from 7am.  

The largest queues were seen in London’s marginal seats where many were late for work and described the busiest election day they had seen for decades.   After six weeks on the campaign trail, Johnson voted early at the nearest polling station to No 10 Downing Street  

Labour leader Corbyn, also voted early in his Islington North constituency with the election said to be on a knife-edge.  

Mr Johnson tweeted: ‘Today is our chance to get Brexit done. Vote Conservative’ while Mr Corbyn wrote on social media: ‘Vote Labour today to save our NHS...’
