Prime Minister David Cameron will meet the Queen at Buckingham Palace on Monday, marking the official start of the election campaign. In a ritual steeped in tradition, Mr Cameron will ask the Queen for permission to dissolve Parliament ahead of the General Election on 7 May.
Once permission has been granted, the Queen will sign and seal paperwork that leads to the dissolution. Her Majesty will meet with her Privy Council for the signing of the documents, which Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg is president of.
At this point all MPs will lose their titles, and those seeking to keep their seats following the election become candidates.
