Re: Blair To Call General Election In October
As that BBC article indicates it's about guessing the feelgood factor, and the USA presidential election results potential must scare Blair. At the same time the Conservatives are improving thier strength all the time. Going to the polls sooner, gives the Tories less time to really get their act together.
As an aside, is it right that the PM can choose the timing of an election? Our local government works on a fixed term of office before a poll. Why can the government of the day, choose when it thinks it has the best chance of winning?
