As we hear rumours of Gordon Brown considering an election this year, I wondered what may count against it in Brown's mind, so I looked at the most recent Yougov poll and thought "what if you remove the Scottish figures?" I reckon it gives you these figures:
Conservative 43%
Labour 33%
Lib Dem 16%
Others 7%
I may be wrong but I think, even allowing for Labour's over-representation in Scotland and disallowing the seats that we're about to take from them, that those results would give Cameron a working majority.
I think Brown will lose whenever he calls the election - too many mistakes made, too much of a mess left - but I think he's also hanging on and thinking "events, dear boy, events".
Ah, Callaghan
So what has the SNP got planned for when the Westminster cabinet comes up to Glasgow, now that GB and his attack dogs are on the ropes?
ReplyDeleteAch, I don't believe that there is any large-scale organised campaign to rig the postal votes - I don't think that Labour is capable of organising anything so large these days for one thing.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't possibly reveal what's planned for the UK cabinet, but proposals are always welcome. Tea and crumpet, perhaps?
