Poll in todays Sunday Times shows that more than half the population believe that Gordon Brown continuing to be PM is damaging to Britain. And 49% of people think there should be an immediate general election, only 20% believe that we should have to wait until next year.

Labour stand at only 24%. I still expect to see a leadership challenge this autumn as the polls worsen.

Generous estimates those. They never asked me for instance, or anyone I know. How do they estimate how people are feeling ?

Nearly 50% think there should be an election? Time to listen to the country then isn't it and call one?

Something a bit skewy with that article..

The Times said:
Even so, 33% of people named Cameron and George Osborne, the shadow chancellor, as the politicians they trusted most to raise their and their family’s standard of fingers in the earth and nothing tastes better than a strawberry or tomato you have just picked.”

Sir Roy Strong, the historian who wrote a book on the royal gardens, said: “The Queen is in line with the times and should be greatly applauded, but the idea of Princess Margaret keeping an allotment would have been laughable.” living, against 22% for Brown and Alistair Darling.

Why would any politician call an election when it was obvious he or she was going to lose? Surely the idea is that you set the date when you have your best chance of winning? Or have I missed the point?

That makes as much sense a Labour cabinet meeting.

You've not missed the point, it's just that these power-hungry greedy crooks KNOW that they're going to wiped out so they're filling their boots for as long as they possibly can.
