(17 Mar 1997) English/Nat Britain will go to the polls on May the first. The British Prime Minister John Major made the announcement after a special Cabinet meeting and an audience with Queen Elizabeth II. He asked the Queen to dissolve parliament in early April to pave the way for the general election on May 1. Labour Leader Tony Blair, whose party has a 20 point lead in the polls, said he was looking forward to fighting the campaign. The news that British Prime Minister John Major was set to end the tension and announce the election date began to leak out over the weekend. But the rumour gained credibility when a special Cabinet meeting was confirmed and ministers began arriving at Number 10 Downing St - the Prime Minister's official residence. After the meeting, Major went to Buckingham Palace for a special audience with Queen Elizabeth II. He requested her to dissolve Parliament so they could start the election campaign in time for a May the first poll. He returned to Downing Street to make the announcement. SOUNDBITE: (English) "Good morning, I would like to formally confirm that I have seen her Majesty the Queen this morning, and sought her permission for a dissolution of parliament and a general election on the first of May. I am delighted to tell you that her Majesty has consented to that. I would expect prorogation of parliament within a few days before the formal dissolution in early April. Parliament will reassemble on the 7th of May for the election of Speaker and swearing in of members, and the Queen's speech will begin on the 14th of May. " SUPER CAPTION: John Major, British Prime Minister Major was defiant, despite a 20 point lead by the opposition Labour party in the polls and said victory was well within his grasp. SOUNDBITE: (English) "(Q At the moment do you accept that you are well behind Labour?) Well I see what the opinion polls say. I also see what so many of my colleagues say when they come back from standing on the doorstep and talking to people. And I believe that this election is winnable. Not only do I think it is winnable, I think I'm going to win this election, and so are the Conservative Party. We have an 18 year record that I am proud of." SUPER CAPTION: John Major, British Prime Minister The May the first date gives the Conservatives, who have ruled Britain for 18 years, just six weeks to make up its huge deficit in opinion polls. Labour has had its 20 point lead in the polls for months, and there has been no sign of a revival of Conservative fortunes. Labour Party leader Tony Blair, paying a visit to a south London school, said he welcomed the announcement of the date and was looking forward to fighting the campaign. SOUNDBITE: (English) "This campaign is going to be about the condition of Britain, the future of Britain, that Britain can be better than this and it will be about how the Conservative Party have let people down, have broken their promises, and about how a new and revitalised Labour Party can get this country going, can make this country better, have better schools, better hospitals, have less violent crimes in our streets, give us the jobs in industry for the future. So you know the longer it goes on, in one sense, for us we can get our message across to the people. " SUPER CAPTION: Tony Blair, Labour Party leader In a first for the British electorate, Tony Blair and John Major are expected to meet head to head in a television debate signalling a more American presidential style for this campaign.
