CAPTION ONLY: BRITONS GO TO POLLS

SHARE CAPTION ONLY: BRITONS GO TO POLLS

British Prime Minister John Major enters a polling station near Cambridge to cast his vote in the most closely contested election in decades. Major's Conservative Party is expected to lose its huge parliamentary majority because of anger over its economic policies. The party even stands a chance of losing its 13-year-old grip on power. But election-eve polls indicate that neither the Conservatives nor the opposition Labor Party would win a clear majority in the House of Commons. "We are going to win," said Major, 49, as he voted in his Huntingdon constituency. Altogether 2,903 candidates competed for 651 seats.
