Re: Snap uk election?
The queen has to agree to dissolve parliament I guess. But it's theoretically about minimum 2-3 weeks from then to polling day. But I'm assuming the machinery of government would want more notice than that.

I can't see why Brown would want an election now though, unless he thinks there's a horrible downturn around the corner. (And even then, the economy has been so "depoliticised" that I can't see why people would look to Conservative policy to revitalise things. At the moment, it doesn't look like the Tories would have turned into a mean fighting force even with another 12 months, so why bother? Even if he wins then all he might accomplish is shortening his overall tenure as PM.
