Nice way to treat a lady;<BR/><BR/>3. made sure there was no leadership election for the Scottish Labour Party; and<BR/><BR/>4. may yet be kamikaze enough to announce a 'snap poll' on Tuesday, then watch as his opinion poll "lead" evaporates due to regional variations, differential turnout etc, and he loses scores of Labour MPs; allows the Tories to virtually wipe the Lib Dems out; and probably faces a hung parliament or such like.<BR/><BR/>That's what Brown gets for his disregard of democracy, and his party's inability to deliver on policy it promised in its manifestoes in '97, '01 and '05 :-)Mountjoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385482147330173836noreply@blogger.com
