SO, THE Prime Minister wanted to wait until after the party conference season to announce his decision on whether to hold a general election.
Why?
Could he not have announced the decision before? Two, three months ago?
Is it just a coincidence that he made the announcement two days after disappointing polls? Is it just a coincidence that he has moved the CSR and the pre-budget speech? If he had decided to show how he would "do the job" rather than call an election, then why not make this announcement months ago?!
Is Brown serious that the polls played no role whatsoever in his decision to go to the polls?
The press seem to be giving him a hard time. He deserves it.
Also, for Brown to lecture the Tories on fiscal responsibility?! Please...

Now, Mr Brown may not be able to lecture the Conservatives on fiscal responsibility, but neither can the Tories lecture Mr Brown.
There is that photo. You know. The one of Norman LaMont on Black Wednesday with one Mr D Cameron in the background...
Well aware of the picture. However, considering that it was nearly 15 years ago, shouldn't Labour be focusing on their policies rather than David Cameron's contribution to Black Wednesday?
What astonishes me is the way that Labour continue to try and dine out on Black Wednesday, despite advocating British membership of the ERM under the same terms as the Tories. Not once in the lead-up to the crisis did John Smith or Gordon Brown advocate withdrawal and allowing the £ to float back down to a more realistic exchange rate.
Only possible conclusion? A Labour government elected earlier in 1992 would have made exactly the same mess of things as did the Tories.
