The UK General Election 2015: Interview With Babita Sharma

The early summer of 2015 will undoubtedly prove to be a very exciting time for political afficionados, with the UK general election taking place this coming May. It looks set to be one of the closest elections in recent years with certain forecasters calling it a dead heat between David Cameron's Conservatives and Ed Milliband's Labour. Also at stake is possibly the future of the UK's place in the European Union. In a bid to transfer more power from Brussels back to the UK, David Cameron is offering the British people an in/out referendum in 2017 should the tories be re-elected to government. So what impact will the media play in bringing the story of what should be a fascinating election campaign to the worldwide audience? To discuss this further and to get more insight into the BBC's rle in ginving the global perspective of the UK elections, Owen Stafford recently spoke with Babita Sharma, news anchor with BBC world and presenter of the daily "Newsday" programme." #Politics #GE2015 #GeneralElection #BBC
