Labour to lose next election

Ok, so such a sentiment has been popular currency for a while now out in the real world, but the thought seems to have only just occurred to the Government.

Michael Wills, Labour MP for Swindon North and a close aide of Chancellor Gordon Brown, has said, "The trouble with the current approach is that we will go out of power and we will go out of power for 15 years."

He's quite right of course, as more and more of the voting pubic have grown tired of the incompetece, ineptitude, arrogance and hopeless behaivour of a stale Labour Government.

Wills continued with, "We have got good messages and we are delivering on public services so why is it they don't listen any more? It is because they don't trust us. Iraq is an important part of that. The presidential style of the prime minister - which brought us great dividends in the early years and now we are seeing the mirror image of that - is also part of it."

Iraq is something to do with it I suppose, although for the general public it isn't as big a deal for them as it is for some lefties. Rather it's the incompetence of the Government in their handling of domestic issues that has led to Labour slipping down the opinion polls, propelled by the sleazy shortcomings of David Blunkett, Charles Clarke, Mr Ruth Kelly, Patricia Hewitt, et al and their institutional inability to produce the goods with all the money they're pouring into the state.

So no, the public don't really trust the Government and nor do they have much reason to. But they haven't turned against Tony Blair completely, mainly because he is still a great talker (Or con artist according to your taste) who gives the impression of leading, while the alternative in Gordon Brown is just too awful to contemplate. An arrogant, charmless Scot with a fuckwitted facial tick is not who the English want leading them and unfortunately for Brown and Labour, Englishness and its separateness from Scotland and Wales is an issue looming ever larger on the radar of the public conciousness.

David Cameron should be licking his little tiny lips in anticipation.
