Now if I was Gordon Brown, the moment Tony announces the date, I too would announce that I was standing and possibly retiring from the house at the next election. Why would you want to run the country after the mess Tony has left it in. If he’s lucky he might win one election, and even that could be with a minuet majority and whilst unlikely imagine the embarrassment if he actually lost the next leadership election, it would destroy his political career. Instead Brown’s legacy would be a great economy, one of the best chancellors the country ever had.
I’d rather leave it at that myself.
A ‘minuet’ majority.
You mean Brown is going to have them dancing on the Labour benches to a 3/4 beat?
Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly, Brown’s gotta run the country.
I too was intrigued by a minuet majority, it sounds delightful, and for that reason I will on this occasion not edit your spellings!
