Following the decision of the Theresa May government to hold general election on 8th June, Britain's House of Commons was dissolved on Wednesday (May 3) without any traditional pomp and ceremony. All the 650 members of the House, from Prime Minister May onwards, became ordinary citizens one minute past midnight on Wednesday.
Prime Minister May used a break clause in the fixed-term clause introduced by former Prime Minister David Cameron, to call a snap election on June 8 as Britain prepares to negotiate with the European Union on its withdrawal from the bloc.
The dissolution also signalled the official start of Britain's election campaign, with all 650 seats of the Commons are up for grabs. But the dissolution does not mean that Britain's government comes to an end.
"Government ministers remain in charge of their departments until after the result of the election is known and a new administration is formed," said a Parliament spokesman.
