How long has Gordon Brown got ?

I am betting Gordon has less than 2 Weeks before he is kicked out.

I went for 2 weeks too, because after the kicking he got in the local elections and what he's going to get in the Euro elections I really think the momentum will build to a level that even he can plainly see.

I'll vote after I see whether Labour gets less than 20% and is beaten buy UKIP
in the EU elections - according to commentators that is what will trigger a
serious attempt by opponents to oust him.

There's also the fact that if Brown goes they may well have to call a general election and we all know that labour will take a complete hammering so they may not want to get rid of him :shock:

I think it'll take a month to get rid of him. Because the EU Elections have provided a useful distraction, and they have to build up a good head of steam yet. Still. It'd be great if he went earlier!

My gut says they won't get rid of him this summer. Like DisgruntledPostie said, an election now would destroy them.

In the fall, though, it could be a different story with conference season. They toss him overboard then, replace him with (ugh) Alan Johnson and promise to call an election in the spring. That way, they've got a media-friendly figure as well as five or six months for the economy to improve.

I don't really care how long GB has got! Be careful what you vote for because Camoron's Bullingden Set will be a lot worse for all of us!

easy, if the Tories get a large Majority, they will sell off the Post Office without needing cross party support.
