Georgegirl, I love your passion.

And Andrew, I fear you could well be right.

Something is brewing and if Brown calls an early election, he will win – unfortunately.

For goodness sake what are you lot on !
Where on earth is the evidence yet that there has been the huge turn around to the Tories thats needed to decapitate Gordon and Co.
The Tories won under Margaret after the winter of discontent , your no where near that yet.
The b country is so enmeshed in the welfare state its forgotten what selfworth is about .
Asking it to vote Tory is like asking Turkeys to vote for Christmas.
Yes the economy is about to go bust ( thanks wee Gordon ) but until individuals jobs are on the line nothing will happen , and Gordon will go for it before that happens.
The Tories are a spent force , theres absolutely no evidence that they have fire in their bellies to win .
Instead we have the wife of the Leader proving how damned rich he is .
Very common touch .
Roll on the election at least you lot will stop navel gazing.

I apologise for the mangled syntax in the last post but it is rather late

31 August Update: Iain may well be right, but the thing is that Labour at that point may not have they seen the Populus poll that has the Conservative Party has been forced to release (Lab 37%, Con 36%, LD 16%)? Yes – it is only one opinion poll – but it is a warning to Labour that the ICM Grauniad poll may not be so right. I have undertaken some analysis of the regional variations which shows Tory advance in the South and Midlands and Labour not really moving forward anywhere apart from Scotland. Brown must be a kamikaze if he’s going to go for a snap poll!

No election Ellee. Nu Labouir ain’t got the cash. Besides they’d probably lose.

I reckon May 2009, same as the Euro elections

I really hope there is no election. the Tories are far to far behind to win at the moment. We need the Brown bounce to be long over.

There is so much trouble ahead in social and economic terms. let us see Broon try and steer the ship he built, rather than take it over as it is sinking.

I’m with James on this. You’re reading too much into this I think.
