"I think it's essential that Labour wins the next election for the sake of the country," Gordon Brown

Personally I subscribe to the opposite view.

Why should anyone believe they have the answer for the future when its now a simple matter to demonstrate they either they had no idea what they were doing since 1997, or they have worked deliberately to bring the countries economy to its knees ( take you pick, because both interpretations fit ). Even Blair says the period of economic stability was luck ( we'll it was worse than that - it was false and borrowed on the future, a debt we are all now picking up ).

Surely even Labour supporters can see that Gordon Brown is deluded ?

The pound in your pocket

"We used to think that you could spend your way out of a recession and increase employment by cutting taxes and boosting government spending. I tell you in all candour that that option no longer exists." James Callaghan

“The trouble with theoretical economists is that they don't understand that when you have a deficit, you can only finance it by borrowing, and you've got to persuade people that it's worth lending money to you and that they'll get their money back... there's no way of escaping it.” Dennis Healey during the 1976 Stirling Crisis.

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens ... Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of over-turning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." John Maynard Keynes, 1920.

"To preserve [the people's] independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our selection between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude." Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States of America,1801-1809.
