Predictions for 2006

But surely we don't want Brown, instead?

He's wrecking (or wrecked, some might argue) the economy and he just doesn't have the image of a Prime Minister. Would you want some sullen, overweight Scot with a weird jaw-drop at the end of every sentence?

When Blair goes, he sound call a general election. Britain has the right to choose their PM, not Mr Blair.

Cheese Feet seems to enjoy saying "fuck" as it makes him seem like some hormonal goth who hasn't got anything interesting to say, and is CONSTANTLY depressed and fascinated with death.

Nah, just makes him look like a weirdo really.

And what's wrong with goths?

BBC News 24 now has the words "KENNEDY TO RESIGN" on its Breaking News bar. So, what are you planning to spend your half-crown on?

Well I've got a pretty long list, but I'm open to suggestions!

Hehe, not resigning over the weekend "in any shape of form" seems to have taken the shape and form of resigning over the weekend!

But when Mrs T resigned in 1990, Major became our PM for 18 months before he called an election. We never got a choice.

Cameron, tries so hard to be Blair, but comes accross as even more smarmy and insinsere. Blair was a breath of fresh air in '94, fresh and likeable, I'm not saying that Cameron isn't likeable its just that he needs to create a new identity, and not just be Tory Blair, and lessen the smarm.

Brown should stop being a big sulk - he'll end up loosing the next election if he doesn't bring in some changes, both to him and his party, he really must create 'New labour, renewed' as he said at conference time.

And erm.. predictions for 2006? Labour and Liberals hurt at local elections, but Cameron will soon loose his shine, even after good local election results.

Apologies for the delay; I was out with Mr Leg-at-each-corner.
