Yes Gordon's clowns are gone. I cannot believe people believed the hype in 1997. It is Harold Wilson all over again. We know what the problems are we just need to throw money at them. How many billion for computer systems that don't work, 500 million for a Scottish parliament that was estimated to cost 50 million, billions on ID cards that are unecessary and with biometrics that don't work. Let's have a new law every week, even if there is an existing law that will already do the job, oh and let it be written incorrectly. As for prudence, we sold gold reserves at the bottom of the market, let the city regulate itself and now have to sell off not only the few assets the crown still has left (again at the bottom of the market), we are also going to take things central government doesn't own (local authority land and buildings) and sell them as well.
We broke parliamentary rules, ignored constitutional conventions and voted for a speaker, from our party, who had no control of parliament and let us do as we wished.
People also seem to forget that Tony Blair gave Brown complete control of domestic policy whilst he was in number 10.
I suspect Labour wil now be out of power for a generation.
