The British pound is getting crushed <\/a>this morning as a result of increasing uncertainty over the result of the UK election, which must occur by the end of May.<\/p>\n

This weekend saw Conservative leader David Cameron’s lead in the polls further erode down to a tiny 2%<\/a>. This leaves the Labour Party, under much maligned Prime Minister Gordon Brown, within striking distance of a shock victory and a minority government in the UK<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This morning’s speculative attack has one of two purposes. It either intends to push the British voter back towards the Conservative Party after Cameron’s hard hitting speech<\/a> over the weekend on attacking deficits and re-building British business. Or it is prediction that the election will result in a hung parliament<\/a> or a return to power for a Labour Party some consider big spending and weak on the deficit.<\/p>\n
