The 2019 General Election was dubbed the "Brexit Election".
2019 General Election
The 2019 General Election in the UK was dubbed the “Brexit Election”. Boris Johnson’s Conservatives and Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party represented the Leave side, whilst the Liberal Democrats, the Scottish National Party, Plaid Cymru and the Greens represented Remain. Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party tried to appeal to both sides, which some have claimed was the reason for their worst performance in a general election since the 1930s.
In the end, the Conservatives won a landslide victory, giving them a majority in the House of Commons of 80 seats. A massive victory for Leave you might think, until you realise that the Conservatives and the Brexit Party got 45.6% of the vote between them, whilst the Remain parties and Labour got 53%.

The ploy worked – the Leave vote was not split, but the Remain vote was. A stroke of genius by the Brexiteers, which probably won them the election

The Liberal Democrats and the Scottish National Party took ITV to court during the campaign. Why?
Because they refused to show any Party Political Broadcasts
Because Coronation Street was aired to coincide with their policy announcements
Because they screened an advert for the Brexit Party
Because their leaders were not included in a televised debate
Only two leaders, Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn, were permitted to speak, but the High Court ruled that, because ITV was not exercising “a public function” it was not liable to judicial review
5 .
