I think the jury is still out on Brown. He's been fortunate, so far.

Brown will get another term, he'll take credit for the good things and blame the rest on Blair.
I think the public will give him a term to prove himself, things arn't bad enough and Cameron isn't doing much to prompt change in government IMHO.Comment

Cameron is just another Balir. If he cuts out the green crap and promises to bring the tax take down as a %age of GDP he'd be much better.www.my-piano.blogspotComment

I don't think Labour will win the next election but I wouldn't discount it - I would expect whoever wins to have a small majority which will make the next government less blasé about what it enacts as there will be an effective opposition.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment

i think brown will struggle to distance himself from blair in the same way major did from thatcher. he's as big a part of the new labour project as blair, and will be seen as jointly responsible for its failures as well as its successes.Originally posted by reds4ever

people are pretty fed with the current lot, and it's not as if cameron will be short of ammunition when the time comes."The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.

Major was a comparatively new face, and he also ditched Thatcher's most unpopular policy as soon as he took office. Brown was the co-architect of everything Labour have done over the past ten years - there is no prospect of "blaming it all on Blair". Even a cut-and-run in Iraq won't heal the damage that caused, particularly with his own grassroots voters and activists.Visit the Vote UK Discussion Forum!Comment

I don't think there's much that can be blamed on Blair, however I don't think the new PM will try "blaming it all on Brown".

Majors problem was that the country had just had enough of the Tories.Comment

He didn't do so badly - seven years of crisis and he clung on.Comment

Brown's legacy is already in place - stealth taxes. One of which was to keep old 'high income/wealth' thresholds in place while inflation crept up, giving us a situation where heavy taxes on income, home buying and death came to be levied on millions more people.Comment

I couldn't believe that 1992(?) election, I was a case of how much worse does it have to get before Labour become electable?Originally posted by Cort Haus

Wasn't that when Neil Kinnock did an AC Milan job of losing an un-loseable scenario?
