Brown, Cameron, or Clegg? The British election has been kicked off as expected this morning, with the British de facto PM Gordon Brown dissolving the parliament in order to set the election in motion on May 6th. And the British voters are to make their choices mainly between Brown/Labour, Cameron/Conservatives, or Clegg/Liberals.
The Conservatives have gained momentum over Labour after three periods of Labour. But according to the most recent ICM poll mentioned by BBC World and The Guardian, the lead of Conservatives over Labour has diminished by four points only since last week to a 37 percent over 33 percent lead. With about 21 percent expected to go to the Liberals.
According to an interactive constituents' tracker in The Guardian, the predominant Labour areas are centered in the Greater London area and to the North of Britain, whereas Conservatives have a stronghold to the South. With scatters of Liberals playing around the whole country. Let's see how it goes.
