LIB DEMS CALL FOR GENERAL ELECTION
Following the resignation of the Prime Minister the Liberal Democrats have tabled a motion calling for an immediate general election, arguing that the British people should choose the next Prime Minister. The motion comes as a BBC Newsnight poll suggests that most voters back a quick general election, including over half of those who said they voted Labour. [BBC]
Liberal Democrrat Leader Sir Menzies Campbell MP said: "Before the last General Election Tony Blair pledged to serve a full third term and the British electorate voted for him on this basis. Now the Prime Minister is leaving it is only right that the British public have their say on who will be their next Prime Minister."
