Perhaps its a one on four chance.<BR/><BR/>Labour will do anything to hold onto office, and that includes ruining the country.<BR/><BR/>I think we are heading back to the late 60's and early 70's with amazing speed. ( That was also the opinion of one of the economists on the previous days Today show ).<BR/><BR/>Even if the worse doesn't happen our country will emerge much reduced for decades to come.<BR/><BR/>I note the Germans are having none of Brown's insane borrow more to save the next election message.
