chaletian1. I need some kind of political icon.
2. Well, Gordon Brown has fucked up a bit. I mean, I suppose he can't really say at a press conference that he's seen the recent polling data and doesn't think his party would win a general election at the moment, but still... it's not like anyone's being taken in by this "well, I thought about having a general election, but then I decided I had more things I felt like playing with" malarkey.
3. Also, I don't know, but I don't think the Tories are in *that* great shape at the moment. So they got a little bounce out of the party conference - so what? Their policies are still kind of fuzzy, and the constant dissatisfaction rumbling along with the party leadership, and which has really been a feature of the Conservatives since 1997, is not helping to stabilise them. I mean, they're happy with Cameron at the moment, but my understanding is that as recently as a couple of weeks ago there were mutterings about replacing him. Still, time will tell. I suppose it really doesn't matter what the Tories do - it's a matter of how hugely the government fucks up between now and the next general election. Plus, it's a no-brainer that the longer they stay in power now, the less likely they are to win the next election.
