That seems like a fairly safe bet but I'm more concerned about the damage they will do until then and the effect it will have on all our futures.

Funny i said the same about the tories in 1997.lol;)

Re: Brown on the ropes??
 

I can guarantee you that when things start to go wrong for the party that gets in next, that party will play the blame game, just like all the others have done.

So instead of people blaming past, present and future governments, why not just blame the whole pathetic system? That most of us can see hasn't worked since day one!

Re: Brown on the ropes??
 

Well, he's certainly hit a sticky patch now... :erm:

Re: Brown on the ropes??
 

Quite.

If the prospect of a Tory government brightens your day, you'll probably get what you deserve

Re: Brown on the ropes?
 

oh how i laughed when i heard the news this morning :D the labour revolution is over and not before time Gorden Brown should now call a general election so we can sort this mess out quickly, but he won't cos he wouldn't want to be labeled the shortest lasting PM in history, so we will all end up suffering because of his pride. anyone know a :sniper:

Re: Brown on the ropes?
 

The Glasgow result is just a another nail in the coffin of New Labour, which even the unions admit is dead.

It expresses brilliantly the growing discontent in this country and definitely in Scotland. The SNP must be pinching themselves to check if it's all a dream.

It will be very interesting to see the financial state of the country which is handed over to the next government.

Maybe the new government will start to reclaim back the exorbitant salaries of MPs and ministers who failed to serve the country well.

Or perhaps, in their shame those MPs will voluntarily repay the excess expenses they've claimed.

Then again pigs might fly!! ;)

Just hope that Cameron lives up to his promises and keeps his word with the electorate.

Wonder if Brown's really seeking political asylum in Israel? LOL!!

Re: Brown on the ropes?
 

This could get him the shove I think.. 2 safe seats lost now!

Re: Brown on the ropes?
 

I think he's finished after this debacle, I'm a Labour man and always will be a Labour man but Brown is not the man for the job and the Scottish public have let him know he's not the man for the job.

Re: Brown on the ropes?
 

Brown has well and truly redfined the Midas 'touch' - his version involves brown, sticky, smelly stuff.....

:rofl:

The economy is in a mess, he's losing safe seats, his party is in huge debt and to cap it all he's got zero charisma - can things get any worse for the Steve Mclaren of politics??

Of course if he'd done the right thing and had an election after Bliar resigned he'd never have got himself in this mess because he'd have lost.

I've added to the thread title, just in case we end up getting a duplicate.

Anyone who's not read Brian Taylor's blog on the BBC website should go and have a look now. Its comments section is a well-known soapbox for all the SNP bravehearts, regardless of the subject they're always there either accusing Taylor of being a closet Labourite or yelling Flower of Scotland at the tops of their voices. They're havng an absolute field day just now.

To quote Victor Meldrew "I can't beleeeeeeeeive it!".

I was brought up in Sunny Govan, Glasgow, and people would have voted for a donkey if it wore a Labour rosette - what more evidence does the Labour Party (New or otherwise) need to have to acknowledge they are now disconnected from the electorate?

Re: Brown on the ropes? [Update - Labour loses Glasgow East By Election]
 

Judging by his comments this morning I think Gordon Brown has entered a permanent state of denial....

I think a lot of New Labour knives are going to be sharpened over the summer recess.... :D
