(LONDON) — “Love, Actually” is all around this year in Britain’s pre-Christmas election. The 2003 romantic comedy about the love lives of assorted Londoners over the holiday season has played a surprisingly large role in the campaign for Thursday’s general election. It has inspired political ads from both Labour and the Conservatives, and “Love, Actually” star Hugh Grant has been out on the campaign trail urging voters to oust Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Johnson’s Conservatives flooded social media Tuesday with an ad parodying the “Love, Actually” scene in which Mark (Andrew Lincoln) stands at the door of secret crush Juliet (Keira Knightley), professing his love on a series of cue cards while her new husband sits obliviously inside. Brexit, actually.
