remind me who the winners were?
Nobody won… We all lost.
On the contrary – it’s being PM at the moment which is the poisoned chalice
I would agree, but as things stand the reverse is true, a seemingly toothless opposition, and an apparent strange acceptance that the best way for the UK ecconomy to recover is to increase the number of unemployed people… things couldn’t really be much sweeter for Dave right now really…
Interesting thought. It’s hard to see big brother putting his name forward as part of a coup in any case, and being out of frontline politics isn’t likely to help his cause if he did run. I wonder what the odds are on DM becoming the next Labour PM (following somebody else having a go – under whom he could re-enter the cabinet – and another election loss)?
I think it’ll be an indicator of how good DM really is at political strategy, but yep, He’s really got to wait another parlimentary cycle if he wants a proper crack at PM.
Let a new shadow cabinet form up that looks a bit less like those of the Blair/Brown era, and ride the enevitable Tory backlash in Daves 2nd term, when the cuts start to bite a bit more.
