New statesman Says Game Over and today’s front page of the Telegraph makes dismal reading with an 9 % lead in a You Gov Survey following a dreadful ICM poll in the Guardian . This would give Herr Broon a 134 majority over all other parties .
Gollum Broons great strength is the strength of the economy which is starting to look a little shaky with news of interest rates about to go up to 6 % . Also he has already promised billions which will make an election give away difficult . Behind him he has the lesson of Callaghan who dithered and stayed in power for the Winter of discontent . He must know that the Polls are flattering and that a wobble in the economy would ignite the implosion .
Everything points to a snap election not least the 20 to 30 seats that the boundary commission are due to give the Conservatives . He will not however go for such an election , why? They don`t have the money
New figures from the Electoral Commission show that in 2006 Cameron's Tories raised four times more money than Labour. They have been able to build up HQ staff while cash-strapped Labour has had to halve its campaign team.
Worse still for Labour MPs fighting marginal constituencies is that the Government has still not closed the so-called 'Ashcroft loophole' that allows parties to spend limitless funds outside the official six-week period before polling day.
It is a loophole Conservatives, with more cash to spend, have exploited mercilessly since Michael Ashcroft was treasurer from 1998 to 2001.( First Post Online Daily)
Two conclusions follow .
1 Labour will wait until they can get legislation in to close the gap
2 They will , once again be under huge pressure to match the Conservative Party`s ability to spend
We all know how they got the money last time and they are going to have to cheat again. Brown ran the election campaign and of course is complicit in the cash for Peerages scandal. A whiff of this touching Brown will be a prick in his BBC puff filled balloon so he will keep a judicious distance. It will take minute observation to catch this man of dark secrets in the act
Could this be Guido’s finest hour , as we stand on the precipice could he with his legendary nose for filth and sleaze be the one who wrecks the glittering dream of a One Party state the Socialist are beginning to believe in .

Rupert could fund the Labour campaign no probs - a drop in the ocean compared to the tax he doesn't pay in the UK.

If we all signed up to back Guido's aim of privately prosecuting those investigated during operation Ribble we will get our day in court out of Broon - as long as nulab and the CPS don't stop the prosecution proceeding..but would they dare? I've signed up.

That is a thought Flo.
TT you say that but is the moolah was that easy to come by then why sell peerages in th first place. This excatly when and why it happend before
There will be no snap election; as you say they can't afford it.
in some ways Broon's confidence is a good thing. An election ow the Tories would lose.
instead we have time and events on our side. let' see how rosy he looks in 6 months after his honeymoon and this carefully planned period of announcements.
Why do they always have elections in May?
