I know it's the worst kept secret in Westminster, but the general election now looks certain to be on 6 May. The most compelling evidence I've seen today is the Conservatives' election countdown widget being changed from counting down to 7am on 3 June (the absolutely last day a general election could be called for under normal circumstances), to the same time on 6 May.All this means that there is almost definitely just 40 days and a few hours until the polls open, and the country starts choosing its new government.
Gordon Brown is expected to visit the palace to formally ask for a disillusion of parliament on 6 April.
