Why are you so sure the next election will be in 2009. The last election was in May 2005, and as a parliament can last for up to 5 years, the next election does not nedd to be held until 2010. In fact you will find that the last Tory government, with John Major a PM, was voted into power in 1992, but served the full 5 years, the elcetion was on 1/5/1997.
Even when Tony Blair relinquishes the job of PM, there does not need to be a general election, the Labour Party will then choose another leader, who would then become PM.
