THE OBSERVER: Forget England, this election could hang on voter calculations in Scotland, Wales and Ireland

Press/Media: Research

Description

The main focus in this election has been the Brexit battlegrounds of England, where most expect the Commons majority that Boris Johnson needs to be won or lost. But this election is for a UK parliament, not an English one, and its outcome also depends on choices in the other three home nations, where arguments over Brexit are cross-cut by older cultural and constitutional fault lines.
