Power Balance before U.K. elections. by Milota Sidorova

Something unusual is happening in U.K. Right now. Major power balance switch among three biggest political parties – Labour party, Conservatives and Liberal Democrats. And while the top position in the polls was led by David Cameron's Conservative party, this has changed during past weekend. And it's something Britain has never seen. The election underdog Liberal Democrats sharply improved the position, ending as a clear winner, if the election would happened these days. The first televised political debate with three leaders, current Prime Minister Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Liberal Democrat Nick Clegg finished more than good enough for Clegg on Thursday. He ove! rthrew his rivals and the proof was given by immediate poll results. A BPIX poll in Sunday issue of the Mail labeled Liberal Democrats a tight winners with 32 percent. Compared to the last week, the party got up 12 percent. Conservatives went down 7 percent down to 31 percent and Labour party lot 3 percent and finished at 28 percent. The sample of respondents consisted of 2,149 people surveyed over Friday and Saturday. Another YouGov poll gave Liberal Democrats plus 11 points over the week, getting 29 percent. This would be tight third place with Conservatives taking 33 percent (after going down 7 percent) and Labour party loosing 2 points to 30 percent. YouGov worked with 1,490 respondents over Friday and Saturday.If election took place these days, Labour would still get 276 seats in parliament, loosing 50 seats to majority, Conservatives would end up with 226 and Liberal Democrats on 119 seats, according BBC's seat calculator. If this would happened, there would be no way! for government consisting of one party. The coalition would b! e the so lution, but with balanced powers, each of the parties could be there.
