Ask Full Fact: your election questions answered
In the final week of campaigning we asked Full Fact's readers to ask us questions about the 2019 general election and the claims made by all the major parties—whether it was about the economy, education, Brexit, health, or polling day itself.
We've had nearly five hundred questions via our question form. This page is where we've collected all of our answers to those questions.
