Denham to replace Brown!

I personally don’t see it happening; equally I don’t see the Labour party disposing of Prime Minister Brown before the next General Election.

Ladbroke have released the prices of who will replace Brown. I believe it is too early to be speculating. The unfortunate thing is Labour seem to think it is Brown who is at fault for the position they currently occupy in the polls.

Historically Britain does not do one party state. The change in fortunes is based partly on the length of time Labour has been in office. 1997 is considered a long time ago and people like change, just like 1979-1997 was too long for the conservatives to be in power, by many.

Obviously party members will disagree; Labour and Conservatives will always say that they should always be in power.

One of the major problems facing the Labour is the lack of any big ideas. The 2008 budget was a failure and the legacy of Browns last budget is being felt by the worst paid in the UK. The defence that people can claim money through tax credits etc is flawed as people will see a reduction in the pay packet. Why hit the poorest in society still remains unanswered?
What Labour MPs fear is not just 80 or 90 of there largely unemployable comrades getting their P45s; it is the loss of patronage throughout the state, which they have created which is now financed by the state. A Labour defeat would have severe personal consequences for much of the clientele. They know it, and are panicking.
