The expression on the faces of Alistair Darling and Gordon Brown on television today spoke volumes. Peter Mandleson put a brave face on it but without doubt the game is up for Labour. With the growing number of discredited cabinet Ministers (not to mention Secretaries of State) making the headlines every day there is no shadow of a doubt that Labour is drawing its last breath. Its popularity ratings in one poll are down to 18%,
on a par with the Liberal Democrats whose spokesmen Nick Clegg and Vince Cable show political astuteness, financial prudence and stature and command increasing respect from public and pundits alike.
The best solution is to sweep the decks clean, dissolve parliament and call an election. The grass-roots public must decide the fate of the constitution, not the overweening politicians.
"The Nineteenth century saw a great Springtime of Nations as the revolutions of 1848 saw new countries created the length and breadth of Europe. In our world today we are now seeing our own Spring Awakening with people and cultures that have long been dormant and subdued asserting their right to exist, their right to dream." Adam Price MP
