Britons will head to the polls in a general election to help break the Brexit deadlock on Thursday 12 December.

While voters will have a million other things on their minds, Britain's stalled departure from the EU will undoubtedly be a big factor in choosing who to support.

Sky News has rounded up all the major parties' positions on Brexit:

Conservatives

Boris Johnson wants Brexit to happen as soon as possible, and has secured a new divorce deal from Brussels he says would be better than no-deal.

The Conservatives are holding this election in the hope of getting a majority in the Commons again so they can pass that deal.

They are fiercely opposed to another referendum.

Labour

Labour's policy can be best summarised as: renegotiate, then referendum.

It wants to go back to Brussels to strike a new deal – within three months of a Labour government being elected – based on different criteria from the Conservatives, to negotiate something that would include Britain remaining in a customs union with the EU.

Then the plan would be to call another referendum within six months of Jeremy Corbyn becoming prime minister.

The exact details of what would be on the ballot paper are not clear, but Labour's deal and the option to Remain would be among them.

Liberal Democrats

The party is promising to cancel Brexit altogether if leader Jo Swinson leads them to a majority of seats in the election.

It thinks any type of divorce deal with the EU would be bad for Britain and the best thing to do would be to remain.

If the Lib Dems don't win a majority, they will continue to campaign for a second EU referendum.

Scottish National Party (SNP)

The SNP says that because Scotland voted Remain in the 2016 referendum, it should not be forced to leave the EU along with the rest of the United Kingdom.

So it wants to hold an independence referendum next year that could see it splinter off from the UK and then hold talks with Brussels about continuing to be the EU's 28th member state.

Democratic Unionist Party (DUP)

Former British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson delivers a speech at the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), Annual Conference in Belfast on November 24, 2018. - Opposition to a draft Brexit deal due to be approved by EU leaders will dominate at a conference on Saturday of the Democratic Unionist Party, the Northern Irish party holding the fate of Brexit and the British government in its hands.

The DUP is pro-Brexit and want it to happen as soon as possible – but only so long as any deal avoids creating new regulatory barriers or customs checks between Northern Ireland and Great Britain.
