Labour will be re-elected in June 09

[Doggy Styles]

Gordon Brown is going to get away with it. The majority of UK voters believe:

1. The USA has caused all the UK's problems, not Gordon
2. Gordon is the only man with the experience and ability to get us through it
3. Gordon is in charge of the world recovery
4. The Tories have nothing to contribute

Next June is probably the optimum point for an election, as Gordon's emergency giveaway budget is still fresh in the mind, and is still postponing the inevitable Sterling and UK economy crises.

Anything wrong with my logic?

Sounds just like Gordon's logic, though whether it will wash with the electorate is another question

[Purple Dalek]

Nothing at all, I think he'll get back in and maybe even increase his majority.

My analysis is more along the lines of the UK has gone barking mad, what further lunacy can possibly be heaped on it?

Unfortunately agree.

On point 3, remember though Obama will be the one person in the limelight come January. Nobody will want to speak to Brown, no matter how hard he tries. Brown will be desperate for a state visit from the new president before June...

I agree - as long as the sun doesnt turn against him.

And I dont see any difference between GB and DC - we need a Maggie.

1. The USA has caused all the UK's problems, not Gordon

There is SOME element of blame on the US, at least.

2. Gordon is the only man with the experience and ability to get us through it

I can't judge his ability. But who else has any experience?

4. The Tories have nothing to contribute

They can say stuff, but are an unknown quantity due to massive lack of experience. How many of the shadow cabinet were in powerful positions last time they were in power?

I agree, weekly or bi-weekly stoning, floggings and other ritual humiliation of Maggie would go some way to raising the morale of the country.

In fact the best thing she could do now for the country would be to croak, I for one am in need of a good old street party.

You Tory boys make I larf. Maggie was the one who began this boom and bust nonsense by deregulating financial services - NL just perpetuated it to its logical conclusion.

And no, I'm not a NL advocate either, but get real FFS!

Aha! Here's a real question then.

Banks are in trouble because they lent far more than they were taking in through savings, thus going into the red. In what year did banks start doing this?

Read my posts - I hate the torys. No point voting at next election - nothing to choose betwen GB or DC.

We need someone who will balance the books and make us live within our means.

Are you trying to tell me there was no boom/bust before maggie?

Well I suppose the 1970s were almost entirely bust.......
