It's fairly obvious that this is a fairly heavily poisoned chalice to whoever wins this one, I certainly wouldn't want to win it. It's almost worth thinking about letting Labour stay in so they can't pass the buck as they are bound to.

note the very important "almost" in that sentence :P

One (perhaps plausible) scenario is that the Tories get in this time, everything (and I mean everything) falls apart 'round their ears and it all gets pinned on the incoming administration.

At the following election (2015), with the country utterly bankrupt, awash with crime and with NO public services whatsoever, Labour campaign hard for 'votes for a better England - look what the Tories managed to do in five years, don't give them another five', and get back in for a long, long time.

This coming election will be a good one to lose. There are some bad times ahead, for sure - alot of which will be blamed on the next administration.

As we stand in 2010, I for one wouldn't want to inherit the fk ups that labour have made.

It's not bloody wonder he doesn't seem too enthusiastic so far in the campaign.

It's back to the bad old days of the sixties and seventies. Labour fk the economy, Conservatives come in and squeeze the pips off everyone trying to get things back in shape then once they've done it Labour come back in and give away any stability that the economy had. It's deja vu all over again.

Exactly so and that is why we need a complete change from the current setup, and not one of the three main parties have the guts for it.

So what you are saying in a nutshell is….

While it seems utterly unbearable to contemplate another five years of Gordon Brown I agree with the sentiments here... If Labour had another five years it would probably secure the biggest landslide in history for the Tories in 2015..... Thanks to Labour the country is in a huge mess, his socialist policies of tax and spend have gone wrong as all the economists said they would.
