'Tight margins'
However, at lowest end of range disclosed in opinion polls, Johnson can t apparently count on winning parliamentary majority to fulfil his referendum on Britain's divorce from 27-nation bloc by January 31. Sanvanta ComRes, a UK polling firm reportedly said that Conservative Party's lead had shrunk down to eight from ten which was earlier this week on December 4. According to head of politics, Chris Hopkins, final days of party campaigns could be 'crucial' and ' margins are incredibly tight'.
With just a drop or rise of few points, Hopkins reportedly also said that Johnson's lead over Labour Praty leader, Jeremy Corbyn could change and make a difference between a deadlock in parliament versus a sizeable Conservative majority. While Corbyn believes that Johnson will t be able to get Brexit done and Tory leader has asked for six months time to get divorce done in an orderly manner. On or hand, Johnson reassures that Brexit is 'long-due' and if Conservative majority comes in parliament, 'Brexit will be done' by January 31 because people have 'waited long eugh'.
