James Frith is hoping to be re-elected as Labour MP for Bury North this general election yet the constituency remains a marginal seat, with Labour and Conservative both ranking at 43% in voting intention estimates.

With this general election campaign focusing on many things like Brexit, misleading information, the future of the NHS and even blocks of ice, but sadly omitting much talk of the UK’s role in international intervention, MM spoke to David Wearing, a leading researcher and writer on foreign policy and the Middle East.

if Jeremy Corbyn seizes power on December 12, Downing Street in the 21st century will become the centre point for the start of a potential social democratic revolution, just as the Winter Palace was in the 20th century.

More often than not, one can generally predict the likely outcome of an election. In this year’s December snap election in the UK, the consensus is that Boris Johnson’s Conservatives will gain the most votes, but it remains up in the air whether or not he will get a majority.

Labour’s Yvonne Fovargue won the seat in 2017 with a majority of 28,245 votes giving her 60.2% of the vote – an 8.4% rise compared to 2015.

Since its formation in 1997, the seat for Altrincham and Sale West has been held by Conservative Member of Parliament Sir Graham Brady.

Labour’s Yasmin Qureshi won the Bolton South East seat in 2017 with a 31% majority. Qureshi earned 60.7% of the votes, over 13,000 more than closest competitors the Conservative Party.

With a once in a generation snap election just around the corner, it’s time for UK residents to visit their polling stations and vote for their local MP.
