Obviously when people say "The Conservatives can't be trusted" has hardly any truth to it these days since labour is not capable of coming up with their own set of policies, or they simply re-hash policies announced some time ago.
Does labour stealing conservative policies mean they don't have any decent policies themselves?
Should Labour have called Conservative bluff and called a general election, or was Gordon right in not calling one. Should he have done so morally or should he not care and simply serve the remainder of this term.
In a sense I think he should have called one because although people say they vote for the party and not the person running the party, and don't think that is necessarily true. Hence why Blair is blamed for losing the popular vote during the last general election and why labour got such a hiding during the last set of local elections.
Does any feel there is any truth to the theory that Gordon is a calculating politician and a conviction one as he would like us to believe. Lets be honest, whenever Labour is in trouble, Gordon is nowhere to be found.
I'm just trying to get some idea of how people see events of the past 2 - 3 weeks.

How many policies have they 'stolen'? Think the inheritance tax one was the first I've noticed, although I rarely pay attention.
the tories don't have any other policies, so they've stolen all of their policies tbf.
Tories don't want an election. So, they announce something overtly populist to get a bump in the polls, which is enough for Labour (who probably didn't really want one either) to knock it on the head. Everyone's happy.
Brown should have done more to control some of his inner circle who pushed for the early election...he allowed things to get a little out of hand.
