As the campaigning in the UK heats up the polls show Boris Johnson's conservatives leading the Labour Party comfortably.
But the polls are anything but a sure thing, with the conservatives facing pressure on a number of fronts, including from the Scottish National Party who are again calling for independence from Britain and to remain in the EU.
Thousands gathered in Glasgow demanding the country's independence from Britain, with Scottish leader Nicola Sturgeon telling the crowd now more than ever it was within their reach.
"We are gathered here for one simple purpose," Ms Sturgeon said.
"And that purpose is to demand the right to choose a better future for our country."
Ms Sturgeon, whose Scottish National Party is running on a pro-independence, anti-Brexit platform is urging voters to send a strong message to the conservatives and the Labour Party come the December 12 election.
"I'll debate either of you, I will debate both of you, any time, any place," she said.
"So stop running scared and come and justify why Scotland should not be independent."
With election campaigning in full swing in the UK, the latest opinion polls have Boris Johnson ahead with a comfortable 16 point lead over Labour.
But the numbers provide no guarantee, with Theresa May's commanding lead in the polls back in 2017 preceding a minority government which ultimately stymied Brexit negotiations.
It appears Britain is also not immune from Russian interference, with Prime Minister Boris Johnson under pressure to release a report on alleged Russian efforts to influence the Brexit referendum in 2016 and the general election in 2017.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has been quick to go on the offensive, accusing his conservative opponents on trying to shield the matter from the public eye.
"I suspect that the reason it hasn't been published is they're going to try and delay it past the dissolution of parliament on Tuesday and then they can hide it away until some point in the future."
The government maintains there is simply nothing unusual about the time it is taking to release the report.
