I make no pretense of being a pundit relative to politics, but it does tickle me when part of my UK election proposal comes true. First, Labour did very poorly (check!); second, Tories have the most votes (check!); third and fourth, Gordon Brown constitutes a liability for Labour and resigns (check! check!). Now, if only Labour sees the value of not putting their fingerprints on the PM’s office for the next few months. . . .
BBC, I’m at home, waiting for my clip-on mike!
(Meanwhile, would pols and commentators please stop misusing the word “majority”? I’ve heard that word abused repeatedly for the past five days.)
You are going to have to resign yourself to this British usage of the word “majority”. It’s not going to change.
