I've missed a lot of the details, but why exactly should we be petitioning for an election now?
everyone knew the Blair-Brown handover was going to happen part way into the former's term surely, and there is no reason why Brown should rush such a big decision and call it early is there?

The Labour press office prepped the Media for an Election announcement sometime last week or this.
It is the back tracking, Tory release of "their" policies and the pretty obvious pre-election Autumn Budget (written by GB) that has led to this whole situation.
It smacks of GB bottling it and wanting to have a longer time at a job he's hankered after for 10 years. </BLOCKQUOTE>
hold on. of course he's going to try and pick the moment his party can be most successful. how the hell else do you expect him to be?
the 'fact' that he initially wanted an early election in itself was him "wanting the job" for longer... he thought if he could win an election early on then that would give him 'his' term in office.
so why the hell didn't you mind that decision, but suddenly hate it when he decides against it based on the way things panned out? it's just sense on his part.
