British Polls Day

Click on the Ballot Box to follow the BBC link.

Although Election Day in most European countries take place on Sundays, it is a British tradition to go to the polls on a Thursday as today. If you follow the link above, there is a BBC presentation about how to vote. I know you know what voting is, but maybe you learn some new words.

Those candidates elected are called MP (that stands for Member of Parliament). Click to see how the British Parliament works.

Who leads the polls? It seems that the next PM (Prime Minister) will be the Tory James Cameron.
Gordon Brown is the Leader of the Labour Party and the PM at the moment.
Nick Clegg is the Liberal Democrats candidate, this is the first time the polls predict Clegg and the LB in the  second place in number of seats in Westminster.
