    Re: Can Labour Win The Next General Election?

    Depends how much faith people have in the party in general. If Brown goes before the next election, people MIGHT give the new leader a chance, and we will have what happened with the Conservatives when Mrs Thatcher resigned, people gave Major a chance.

    However, I doubt they will get back in.

    Tony Blair had charisma.

    I can't name any other party leader (or potential leader) who does.

    Still, whoever wins, we all lose.

    I'd love to think the public at large would vote them out, but we have a habit of shamlessly sticking to what we know...

    Re: Can Labour Win The Next General Election?

    It depends, given the fickleness of public opinion and it's collective short memory - If Labour manage to pull some sort of big PR victory out of the hat near election time then it's possible I suppose.

    I'm just depressed because like Steve said, Labour and Tory are both so similar and both most definitely not the parties I want to vote for. I think I'm going to vote Lib Dem as a protest vote.

    If you seriously think Cameron is going to win, think again, long and hard.

    Labour might not be the best, and Brown might not have a good reputation (It's a recession after all), but you cant trust the idiot with the bike.

    Not sure what you mean mate.

    If Labour don't win, and given the 32-1 current voting, the polls, and Labour members saying 'we can not win the next election', this seems likely, then who, apart from David Cameron, do you think is going to win?

    The Lib Dems can't win a General Election, and obviously UKIP, the Greens, etc, can't win.

    So... who are you expecting to be PM if Labour don't win, if it's not David Cameron?
