Voters in Portugal head to polls to elect new parliament

Voters in Portugal go to the polls on Sunday in a snap election triggered by a corruption scandal. It brought down the centre left government of Antonio Costa whose Socialist Party had been in power since 2016.

Polls show that neither the Socialists nor a new centre right coalition will win a majority, and that a new "far right" party will make gains due to growing frustration with mainstream politics. Simon McGregor-Wood looks ahead.
