BRITAIN TO VOTE IN KNIFE EDGE ELECTION

Britain votes later (Thursday - polls open at 7am BST) in a general election too close to call.

David Cameron's Conservatives and the opposition Labour Party led by Ed Miliband have remained neck and neck in most polls for weeks.

If there is another hung parliament both men may have a chance to try and put together a coalition government.

Alternatively, one of the parties may attempt to govern in minority - raising the chances of another election this year.
