"We are ready not to just fight but to win a general election whenever the prime minister decides to call it," he said.

Liberal Democrat leader Menzies Campbell said Brown should call an early general election to give him a clear mandate to govern the country, although the ruling party is allowed to change its leader mid-term. In mapping out his policy priorities, Brown demanded change for Britain to better serve people's rising aspirations, building himself as the right person to lead the country in face of new challenges, such as globalization and climate change.
