Britain's political parties have launched into a general election campaign on returning from their Christmas breaks.
It's now 122 days until Britons go to the polls and the official campaign period is underway.
The opposition Labour leader Ed Miliband is describing the election campaign as a 'once in a generation fight'.
The coalition-leading Conservatives say Labour is already promising over $30bn (US) in unfunded spending commitments for their first year in government - should they win the election.
Both main parties face a growing threat from the anti-EU, anti-immigration UK Independence Party.
Gideon Skinner from pollsters IPSOS/MORI says it's one of the most unpredictable elections in British history.
