The PMs job now is a poisoned chalice and I think whoever got in would not be so popular as they are going to have to make difficult cuts.
Labour could well be being street wise here, cutting Brown out now, regrouping and looking fresh if the Coilition fails within the next 12 months
However the electorate hopefully should remember the problem we face NOW is a problem caused by our previous Government and not the current one.
Brown has been pro active to employ changes during recession which has been effective..
However Global economic crisis or not, our problem has been made severely worse by the debt we have gotten ourselves into. Labour have been very sloppy and irresponsible with the fiscial situation over the course of the term.
This debt has been completely down to Labour, and Brown himself is largely to blame, he was Chanchellor of the exchequer prior to PM. He should have kept national debt low but now its sky rocketed to 850 billion!!! and they continue to want to spend more!!
Don’t get me wrong Labour have done some good things over their term, but the fiscial situation we now face is diabolical.
Peoples jobs and economy is set to have a setback and its not Tory/ Lib Dems fault.. its the defecit which Labour allowed to grow.
As a floater voter myself I think and hope labour will be back, ... but hopefully not for another 10 years..
