Will a Christmas election happen?
Prime Minister Boris Johnson says he wants to hold a general election on 12 December, to try to "get Brexit done". But a pre-Christmas election likely to happen?
The next election isn’t due until 2022, but the prime minister wants an early general election to try to restore the Conservative Party’s majority.
In the studio Kirsty Wark is joined by the Conservative Brexiteer Peter Bone, former Conservative and now independent MP, Dominic Grieve, Labour's Emma Dent Coad, and Liberal Democrat Chuka Umunna.
