Thank you for your agreement RJT.
I bet Gordon Brown is pulling his hair out in anger at the way the people around him appear to have created problems for him which could have been avoided. The first few months of the Brown Premiership must be just about the worst start for any incoming Prime Minister I can recall. Even John Major had a better start in 1990 than Gordon Brown has had since June of this year.
And Mr. Brown and his strategists must be desperately working now to stop the "time for a change" mood catching on with the electorate. For if (as you imply RJT) it becomes the fashion among the voters (that a change of Government is needed) it will be very hard for Labour to reverse the trend.
I note that the poll in today's Independent (putting Labour 13% behind the Conservatives) was carried out before last night's resignation of the Labour Party General Secretary. I wonder what the post-resignation opinion polls will say. The next one (no doubt out within the next day or too) will make very interesting reading.
