[edit] "Super Thursday" is now very unlikely
From the article:
- It has been predicted that the election may coincide with the next general election.[1]
The reference links to a People story from March 2007. The political landscape has changed hugely since then, and it now seems very unlikely that the general election will be held until 2010. Loganberry (Talk) 12:39, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
