UK election could herald untidy politics

In the summer before the 2008 financial crisis, it seemed a sure bet that the Conservative Party would sweep to power at the next general election, inflicting ignominious defeat on Prime Minister Gordon Brown's Labour Party. But things change rapidly in politics. Brown waited until the last moment in the government's five-year term – and until economic recovery was under way – to call a general election. With less than three weeks to go before the vote on 6 May, the likely outcome is not at all clear. It is possible that a close election could be followed by a period of uncertainty and even turbulence in British politics.
