01/09/2010: "CONFIRMED: The general election will be on May 6th 2010"
LATEST NEWS: I can confirm that the 2010 UK general election will take place on May 6th 2010
poorest kept secret and subject of constant speculation i know, but after Jack Straw's (labour MP for blackburn) gaff on national television, speaking about geoff hoon's infamous text, stating that "we only have 16 weeks to go before a general election" - which he later tried to backtrack from at the end of the interview, i can confirm another source.
Prospective labour candidate for the Hyndburn and Haslingden seat, Graham Jones, has revealed in a general discussion on his blog, that the date of the general election will be 6th May 2010
"Graham Jones said...
Well it takes a few weeks to select, then take off 6 weeks before to get your name on the ballot paper. Add a fortnight to get organised and 2 more weeks to get printed material done. That's 13 weeks and there are 15 weeks before May 6.
That's shambolic in my book.

the date of may 6th was not mentioned in any post or comment on the blog, although the candidate for the conservatives for the general election was being discussed.
