The man who replaces Gordon Brown will have to deal with a party almost wiped out in the polls, virtually bankrupt and likely to have to be rebuilt from the ground up with a reputation for corruption and betrayal (Lisbon). Further the Tories will reform the electoral boundaries to remove the current Labour bias, this coupled with a likely referendum in Scotland removing the Scottish Labour MP's from Westminster means Labour could be doomed as a political force.<br />It could be at least 10 years before Labour even begin to make headroads in voter terms, possibly a lot longer.<br />People like me will be very slow to forgive or forget the last few years, particularly every time I get to look at my pension fund.Quiet_Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09575652127079681825noreply@blogger.com
