UK general election, 2005

  • There has been no announcement of a general election in the UK for 2005, and indeed there is no constitutional reason for one to occur at all in 2005, therefore thispage is highly premautre. It is also highly speculative, and NPOV. Therefore it should be deleted, until HM The Queen disolves Parliament. Astrotrain 20:32, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)
    • Uhm, it's highly probable there will be a General Election in 2005, but it has not been announced yet. Darksun 20:39, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)
