UK's Gordon Brown to resign as prime minister (AP)

 

Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown speaking to the media outside his official London residence, No.10 Downing Street, Monday, May, 10 2010. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced Monday he will resign by September — a dramatic move that improves his Labour Party's chances of staying in power in a possible coalition government with the third-place Liberal Democrats. Brown said Labour, which came a distant second to the Conservatives in Thursday's national election, would begin a leadership contest to replace him while he focused on talks aimed at breaking Britain's election deadlock. (AP Photo/Simon Dawson)AP - British Prime Minister Gordon Brown made a dramatic bid to keep his beleaguered Labour Party in power after it was punished in elections last week, announcing Monday he will resign by September at the latest even if the Liberal Democrats — being wooed by the Conservatives — decide to join his party in government.
