Labor's loss in Glasgow East
The Guardian newspaper has quite a collection of twee quotes on this, here.
IMO: I take a different view. Keep Gordon Brown a few months and then get him sacked as PM, if necessary frogmarching him out of No 10 - and replace him with a Labor Prime Minister, probably without an election or a vote. But are Labor strong enough to do this ? And who can replace him ? Some say Hilary Benn or Milliband, others McDonnell or Meacher. But will this help anyway ? Royal Bank of Scotland said in the Daily Telegraph on June 19th that we are heading for a serious global crash very soon, ('keep your money in cash not shares etc'.) hardly Brown's fault and we do need a Labor Govt at such a time. I'm the grandson of a hardworking miner (not from UK) and I see all the above MPs simply as toffs, and probably unacquainted personally with what is going on - except in some spirit of abstract idealism, and/or looking for 'bungs'. Well I see David Cameron has had his bicycle allegedly stolen from outside of Tesco's. I also see he has a large estate and loadsamoney (not obtained by hard work) and believe that somebody has perhaps actually set this theft up as Tory 'spin'. I would feel tempted to give the Libdems a try next time, but it could help if Brown goes in a few months - perhaps back to the Treasury.
