Why are we having a General Election?
BRITS will soon be heading to the polls for the second time in two years after MPs backed a General Election for mid December.
Here's everything you need to know about the coming vote, including why we're having the General Election - and whether it could really break the Brexit deadlock.
Why are we having an election?
The core issue driving the election is undoubtedly Brexit, and its delivery.
Boris Johnson may have said he'd rather "die in a ditch" than leave the EU after October 31 - but was forced to request an extension from the EU until January 31 next year, after MPs passed the Benn Act, blocking a No Deal.
The EU granted that "flextension", and the UK can leave before that date if a deal is reached in Parliament.
Mr Johnson called for an election in hopes he can restore the ruling Conservative Party's majority in order to get his deal through.
Opposition parties also backed the vote, which will take place on December 12.
They're also hoping to get a chance to deliver their own versions of Brexit - or block it altogether.

Will Boris Johnson win an election?
The Prime Minister risks being punished at the ballot box as he will have to campaign on the back of not leaving by October 31.
As of November 4, the Conservatives were no longer odds-on to win a majority - meaning a hung Parliament could be on the cards.
This would be a disaster for the Tories, who are desperate to deliver on their promise to see through the result of the 2016 Referendum, nearly four years on.
