Gordon Brown will announce on Tuesday morning that the general election will, as expected, be held on 6 May, BBC political editor Nick Robinson says.
The prime minister will go to Buckingham Palace to ask the Queen to dissolve Parliament.
On returning from the Palace he will formally confirm the date and make a speech in Downing Street in which he will dub the election “the big choice”.
The economy, taxation and public services will be key battlegrounds.
Ah well, it will be interesting to observe from this side of the Pond.
And the most unpredictable election since 1992. It could so easily be a repeat of 1974 (I was only four at the time, but no doubt there are other English readers with longer memories).

Britain needs to switch to a unicameral parliament. My only question is how the (censored) do we get rid of the Commons?
God save the Queen!
“My only question is how do we get rid of the (censored) Commons?”
There. Fixed it for you.
“Britain needs to switch to a unicameral parliament.” I agree that the House of Lords is generally smarter and more honest than the Commons.
Amen, Ad Orientem!
tis like choosing to step in dog poo or cat poo. There is choice but not so that you would care. Whoever wins will promote the liberal secular values dictated by the unelected EU in any case
Genuinely the most depressing election i can remember. I see no hope at all……
