Britain is in full campaign ahead of elections on May 7, 2015. Polls are already betting that this election will be the most unpredictable ever. At the moment, no one is making predictions about the possible winner of these 2015 elections, but everyone agrees that a government majority will not emerge from the polls, but rather the portrait of a split country. Labor and Conservatives will compete on the edge of the last vote to decide who between Ed Miliband and David Cameron will be the next British Prime Minister. Tonight (21pm Italian time) private broadcaster ITV and the BBC News Channel will broadcast the highly anticipated first and only live TV debate between the seven leaders of the major parties, including Cameron, Ed Miliband, Farage, Nick Clegg, Nathalie Bennett, Lean Wood and Nicola Sturgeon.
Great Britain's stay in the EU
According to British observers, the elections on May 7 will be the most important in the post-war period. At stake, in fact, is not only the leadership of Great Britain for the next five years, but also the membership of the Kingdom in the European Union. On the subject, the clash in the English Parliament as well as among the citizens is very heated. On the one hand, in fact, there is the outgoing premier Cameron who has promised, if he wins the elections, to hold a referendum on Great Britain's permanence in the EU; and on the other, Miliband's Labor Party who don't even want to talk about a referendum of this kind.
Not just Labor and Conservatives
Another peculiarity of the forthcoming elections in Great Britain lies in the uncertainty linked to the result that the current third party in the country will obtain: Nigel Farage's UKIP, which is also strongly inclined towards the United Kingdom leaving the EU. In fact, according to pollsters, the upcoming elections could also put an end to the historic English bipartisanship. Britain's political history has seen Labor and Conservatives split majority votes for decades, with peaks exceeding 90%. But the elections of May 7, 2015 could represent a historic watershed.
The polls on the May 7 elections
According to the latest polls, Labor and Conservatives will essentially split the next 650 members of the House of Commons equally. According to the latest forecasts, the two parties will be the protagonists of a head-to-head which will see them both settle at around 35%. Nigel Farage's UKIP could get 12%, the Liberal Democrats 8% and the Greens 5%. The electoral campaign, officially opened yesterday by Prime Minister Cameron with the dissolution of Parliament, could reserve interesting twists and turns. In such an uncertain situation, the majority set at 324 seats, it will be really difficult for the winning party to find the way to form a government. It is for this reason that pollsters bet on last-minute alliances.
