Election may lead to voting change

THIS British general election could be the last to be held under the first-past-the-post system, if no party has an overall majority on Friday.

It will be Gordon Brown’s right as the incumbent prime minister to try to form an administration – even if Labour has the smallest share of the popular vote.

Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg has not ruled out a deal with Labour if they come third in the vote, but he has indicated he could not work with Mr Brown as prime minister.
