Mike – you’re sounding as repetitive as John Bull after retraining to be a DJ.

The great failing of the this Labour government & the current British perception of them is all because they won 3 elections – this is the longest period in their history as a political party that they been in office so long – in the past the British only used Labour as a temporary punishment factor against the Tories for perhaps one term in office before they could do any damage – that is what should have happened in 1997 – they should have been back out of power by 2002 at the latest – those extra 5 years (eventually 7 extra years) will be the end of Labour and Britain back where they were in 1979 – sad but true !!

This is like watching the implosion in slow motion – the rats are deserting the sinking ship & fast –

ANTHONY’S Figures :- (CON 45% to LAB 24%. Under David Milliband support would be CON 47%, LAB 24% – worse than with Gordon Brown, albeit, not by a significant amount. With Ed Balls as Labour leader, the party would be pushed into third place behind the Liberal Democrats: CON 50%, LAB 17%, LDEM 18%.)

It’s the last set of figures showing Labour in 3rd place if Ed Balls was leader – this is not fantasy land / as per my previous predictions – that is where Labour will be within months of losing the next election (3rd place) before breaking up for good – once again cut and paste !!

Labour are presently stuck on around 26% in the polls. But I think there is a strong possibility that they will drop further in October for three reasons: the coming Labour party conference is likely to be difficult with the media focussing on divisions; the new, and for many more expensive car tax system is likely to be unpopular; the big price rises in gas and electricity will begin to bite as the days get shorter and the weather colder.

I predict a long, hard winter for this Labour government during which they will be even more unpopular then they are now! And the desire for a complete new start will be even greater in this country.

‘If they don’t get rid of Brown soon, Labor will be out of power for a generation – so any challenger to his leadership would be a good thing.’

I do get bored with predictive comments based on people’s prejudices. Here is meant to be about analysis of polls; please go elsewhere for wish fulfilment.
