If ever more evidence were needed that the British people have had enough of Gordon Brown as Prime Minister, it came in the early hours of this morning with Labour’s Glasgow East by-election defeat.
It has already been described by some political commentators as the biggest by-election shock in modern history and it’s hard to argue with this view.
Indeed, yesterday the bookies were continuing to strongly favour a Labour win.
The upshot of all of this is that the people of this country – you and me – now have a problem.
We are being led by a Prime Minister who has lost the moral authority to govern. And, around the Cabinet table, he is surrounded by several senior ministers – including the Home Secretary and Chancellor – likely to lose their seats at the next Election.
Meanwhile, our nation’s economy is slipping ever further towards recession.
As it stands, we may have to put up with another two years of this before the General Election is called, and goodness knows what state the public finances will be in by then.
The Prime Minister’s position is now untenable and the Labour Government’s standing unsustainable.
Something clearly has to give and, in the best interests of the country, give soon.
An early General Election seems the only credible way out.
