What today could have been?

Today could have been the start of bright new Britain after the 10years of darkness that has been and is the rule of the Labour Government. It could also have been the shortest term ever that a person has been Prime Minister something which I am sure played heavily on Gordon Brown’s mind.

On September 29th an Ipsos-Mori poll showing the Tories 13% behind, today we are five points ahead. What a turn around it has been. The government was full off swagger going into the Conservative Conference. Now it appears to lurch from one disaster to another.

This could be attributed to the policies that Conservatives revealed at the conference. But I suspect more to the reaction by the government, Browns trip to Iraq looked like electioneering and in bad taste using men and women risking there life as an election prop. Andrew Marr coming out of number 10 and announcing that there would be no election was bizarre.

The following week what I am sure had been planned as a week of announcing policy but what we got was Labour adopting conservative policy which had been dismissed as gimmicks.

The out come has been that the Liberal Democrats removed Ming and are in another leadership election.
