STORYLINE
Polls in Britain's parliamentary elections opened early on Thursday in a race that is likely to reshape the country's politics in historic ways.
Party leaders, accompanied by their wives, cast their ballots on Thursday morning.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown arrived with his wife Sarah to vote near his home north of Edinburgh, on Scotland's east coast.
He said hello to reporters waiting outside the polling station, but made no comment.
Liberal Democrats leader Nick Clegg and his wife Miriam Gonzalez Durantez posed for cameras after he cast his ballot in his constituency in Sheffield, northern England. "I don't think my vote is a secret," he told reporters.
Conservatives leader David Cameron also voted on Thursday morning in his Oxfordshire constituency, accompanied by his wife Samantha.
Should Gordon Brown cling to power, his Labour Party will have pulled off one of the most unlikely political comebacks in modern times.
Victory for the Conservatives' David Cameron would return his once-discredited party to office after 13 years.
More likely - in an election with important consequences for everything from the war in Afghanistan to the global economy - there will be no clear
winner, but an unprecedented boost for the Liberal Democrats and their leader Nick Clegg.
Only months ago, most thought the election would be the Conservatives' for the taking - but that was before the perfect political storm started brewing.
An embarrassing expense scandal last year enraged voters after lawmakers were caught being reimbursed for everything from imaginary mortgages to ornamental duck houses at country estates, bringing trust in British politics to a record low.
And although lawmakers from all three parties were involved, the backlash was most severe for Britain's old guard, the Conservatives and Labour.
Labour's popularity, slipping since Tony Blair's landslide victory in 1997, took a nose-dive after Gordon Brown took the reins.
The 43-year-old Cameron has also been hampered by his own elite background.
