Re: Ed Miliband writing Manifesto (#1)

Its a bluff and a double bluff at that by Brown, just to unnerve the Tories. Brown has no intention of going till next Spring or October; he wants to clock up at least one year as PM before risking it, enough time to leave his mark.

Re: Ed Miliband writing Manifesto (#2)

Yes I would agree with this. I think perhaps May 2008 could be Brown's choice?

Re: Ed Miliband writing Manifesto (#3)

Whatever happened to the notion of fixed term Parliaments?


We have been working on that basis more or less since 1997.  The 2001 election was delayed a month due to the BSE crisis, but otherwise they have been held at fou-yearly intervals.


Or is this another example of abuse of the Royal Prerogative that Labour is not really going to let go of?

Whatever gave you the impression we were operating under fixed Parliamentary terms?
