Since the last local elections, it is true that the Labour Party was overwhelming defeated by the Tories and even by the Lib Dems. The Labour lost 331 seats and apparently it was its worst election night for 40 years.( Times 3/05/08, "May day election massacre"). For the pundits, the newspapers, the Tories, opinion polls and even many in the Labour the responsible was Gordon Brown. He has been depicted as a coward for not calling for a general election in November. He was responsible for the lost of the 25m child benefit records, the 10 p tax(which I still don't have a clue what it is about) and so on... And the last week Cherie Blair, John Prescott and Lord Levy joined the lynching of Gordon Brown.( By the way apparently they turned to each other, according to the Telegraph Prescott now is criticising Cherie and Levy.
I think it is too easy to hold Brown responsible for all the failures of the Labour Party since they came back in power in 1997. The former White house pet dog(Yo Blair!) has his big share too. The Iraq war for example.But I have not heard anything about that from his dear wife. So give him a break and Cameron at Downing Street, no thanks!
