BBC News Item 1  政治：英国首相确定大选时间

The BBC has learned that the British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has decided that the British general election will take place on May 6th. Mr. Brown will go to Buckingham Palace tomorrow  Tuesday  to  ask  Queen  Elizabeth  to  dissolve  parliament,  and  then  make  a  formal announcement of the election date. That will start the official election campaign, which, a BBC correspondent says, will be dominated by issues of taxation and spending in the wake of the global recession.
