It looks as if Labour is about to launch a 'night of long knives'.When do you think this will take place?
Should Labour first elect another leader and then call a General Election, or should they appoint another unelected leader and go the full period before the next General Election?
It now seems definite that Labour have not got a 'cat in hells chance' of winning an election under Brown, but perhaps they may stand an even chance if they have a new leader and shed the New Labour Blair/Brown policies, and revert back to true Labour.

You could be well right Gromit, that is the problem.
This country is fast becoming a one part state, and if that were to happen we would no longer be a democracy.
Which ever side of the political spectrum one comes from, it is beneficial to have parties that sing from different hymn sheets.
Having said that I do think that in periods of national emergencies ie War, or financial meltdown such as we now have, a coalition party would benefit the country.
I have always maintained there should not be such a thing as party politics in Local Government. We should elect people who have the knowledge and qualifications to work together for the benefit of the whole Town/City.
So much time, money and resources are wasted by these individuals trying to score political points over one another, for what purpose?
