Today was supposed to be the Brexit Day – the date on which the United Kingdom, after many delays, would leave the European Union.

The Royal Mint had produced commemorative coins, and Prime Minister Boris Johnson had declared he would rather be “dead in a ditch” than miss this deadline. But Brexit has been put off once again, and the U.K. will instead head to a general election.

Scheduled for Dec. 12, this election will be all about Brexit. Johnson’s Tories will campaign for the withdrawal agreement he recently agreed with the EU. It foresees a harder break with the EU than the previous version negotiated by Theresa May, while avoiding, at least for now, a “no deal” scenario. The opposition Labour Party would like to see a closer alignment with the EU, but details of its stance remain murky; party leader Jeremy Corbyn would prefer to fight the election on issues other than Brexit. This is unlikely to happen. Instead, two parties that seek to turn the election into a referendum on Brexit might surge: Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party, which is in favour of “no deal,” and the Liberal Democrats under new leader Jo Swinson, who advocate for the U.K. to remain in the EU.
