London--The knives are already being sharpened for the leaders of Britain's political parties, several of whom could see their careers brought to a brutal end if they fail to deliver at the May 7 election.
Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron, his Liberal Democrat deputy Nick Clegg, leader of the main opposition Labour party Ed Miliband, Nigel Farage of the anti-EU UK Independence Party -- all run the risk of being kicked out.
"All four are fighting for their political life," said Steven Fielding, professor of political history at Nottingham University.
In an unusually fragmented political landscape, it is no longer enough simply to win the most seats.
After years of dominance by the Conservatives and Labour, Westminster these days is more complicated than that.
