The Labour party haven’t imploded on itself yet, not saying it won’t,

Comment on Election 2010 Gordon Brown Resigns as Prime Minister by David.

The Labour party haven’t imploded on itself yet, not saying it won’t, but it hasn’t yet.

If the Labour party can hold itself together and things go wrong in the Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition government (have to admit I never saw that coming before the election, I’m impressed by David Cameron) we could see an election in under 2 years and if as I suspect the country will punish whichever party is in power as the real pain is felt from the world banking crisis/credit crunch/recession we could see the Labour party back in power.

Lots of ifs and buts, though even if the coalition government brings in it’s proposed 5 year fixed term government I can not see under the current economic problems the country electing the Conservatives twice after 5 years of public sector spending cuts etc…

I would bet money on an increase in VAT after the Tories budget just weeks from now and when the crap hits the fan from cuts in public sector spending they are going to pay for it at the next general election and as they couldn’t even manage a majority when Labour pretty much handed the election to them after a perceived 13 years of disaster (it wasn’t a disaster, but that’s the perception many of the electorate have)!!!

I can’t see a scenario where the electorate will be content (happier than they are now) after a few years of Conservative rule. I’ll add this would have been just as true if Labour won out right, Lib Dems run outright and anything in between.

The electorate will always blame the sitting government and the government right not is Conservative/Liberal Democrat.

As I said right after the election I wanted the Conservatives to take government so they take the blame for the economic pain we are about to suffer. Had Labour remained in power it would have been the final nail in the coffin of Labour and they would not be electable for a generation, now Labour can prepare for the next election with an age of austerity under the Tories belt and possibly win.
