Steve Coogan, Hugh Grant, Stormzy, Olivia Colman, MIA and The Crown's Josh O'Connor have been among the celebrities urging people to vote in the U.K.'s general election, most to prevent a Boris Johnson victory.
Voters across the U.K. on Thursday went to the polls in a general election that is being billed as an “historic” moment for Britain.
Johnson and the Conversatives had been campaigning to make the election almost solely about Brexit, arguing that only they could help “Get Brexit Done,” a mantra repeatedly endlessly during a six-week campaign. But Labour, who have pledged to hold a second referendum on leaving the European Union, have turned the conversation to social issues and public services, especially the National Health Service, which they have accused the Conservatives of looking to dismantle and sell off.
Musicians including Stormzy, MIA, Dua Lipa, Jade Thurwell of Little Mix, Emili Sande, Clean Bandit and Lily Allen were among those coming out in favour of Labour, many writing long posts on social media . Meanwhile, in an interview, Coldplay’s Chris Martin said that he would “probably vote Liberal Democrats,” referring to the centre-right party who previously formed a coalition with the Conservatives.
