The BBC has learned that the British Prime Minister Gordon Brown |
| [00:03.44] |
has decided that the British general election will take place on May 6th. |
| [00:07.56] |
Mr. Brown will go to Buckingham Palace tomorrow Tuesday |
| [00:11.41] |
to ask Queen Elizabeth to dissolve parliament, |
| [00:13.53] |
and then make a formal announcement of the election date. |
| [00:16.34] |
That will start the official election campaign, |
| [00:18.96] |
which, a BBC correspondent says, |
| [00:21.32] |
will be dominated by issues of taxation and spending |
| [00:24.31] |
in the wake of the global recession. |
