EA Joins the BBC on the British Elections
Thursday, April 29, 2010 at 22:13
I'll be joining BBC Breakfast tomorrow at 6:10 a.m. (0510 GMT) and possibly at 8:10 a.m. (0710 GMT) to the final debate between Prime Minister Gordon Brown of the Labour Party and his challengers, Nick Clegg of the Liberal Democrats and David Cameron of the Conservatives.
We'll be discussing the issues covered in the debate, including the economy, immigration, and education, and assess the likely political impact ahead of next Thursday's vote.
(Inside Line: The Conservatives did not secure their Parliamentary majority tonight, and Brown recovered enough from recent setbacks to ensure that there will not be a humiliation of Labour, although it is doubtful he did enough to bring in the largest number of seats next week. Unless a major Fear Factor of coalition government scares away voters from the Liberal Democrats, Britain will have its first "hung Parliament" in almost 40 years.)
