Wasn't it a PHer who mused that he'd bail due to health problems if things were still going bad prior to the election?

It's been suggested by several people including myself (it originaly surfaced when he vanished"went on holiday" in 2008 and people assumed he'd had a breakdown)
Senior figures within labour will be looking at the strategy surrounding the replacement of winky and working out how to get somebody better in without much fuss. By getting him to go on medical grounds they may even improve in the poles as people will tend to cut them some slack if he admits to ill health.
I've still got money on a pandemic or "civil issue" that will prevent or delay the next election, something that may even surface to prevent further protests or even a refferendum on the EU treaty

I'm no fan of conspiracy theories, but this doesn't seem too far fetched at all. In the long run it would be political suicide for the Labour party though.BruceV8 said:

Grrr. I wrote whose... you ever get that thing where you write a word, look at it and arent sure that what you've written is even a word in the first place? It's been all over the media. Have you been hibernating...?
To answer the latter- I havent had a TV for two years and havent stooped to buying a paper in nearly five. I rely on PH for my news updates.

It was surmised in one of the daily newspapers somewhere by a commentator. I think it was the Daily Mail.Wasn't it a PHer who mused that he'd bail due to health problems if things were still going bad prior to the election?
IIRC they reckoned he would bail in January or so.

And when i say an army it can either be the british army or even better an army of very very pissed off normal folk
If Brown continues until the election, the Tories will be able to put the case that he may not see through a whole term if he wins, so once again the British electorate will end up being led by someone they didn't vote for.
If he doesn't, then of course Labour are forced into a leadership election right before a general one.
It's a lose lose situation for them (hopefully).
