According to Alasdair Darling


"Labour can win the next election"

I suspect that he had too much of Marko's moonshine last time he was in Uig.

Win, I don't think they'll do. But they will do a lot better (or rather, the Conservatives won't do as well) as various pundits are saying.

Protest votes in by-elections are all very nice, but when it comes to the UK general election, it'll be pointed out by the incumbents: do you want to be ruled by a group of Old Etonians? And that'll make a *lot* of people flinch and pause at the ballot box.

Will I'm expected the Conservatives to get the most seats, getting a working majority in Westminster will be far harder. It'll be interesting to see if they can form a coalition with the Lib Dems and/or the SNP.

Latest odds on a variety of election bets are summarised here.

Silversprite i suspect that our neighbours south of the border will not care that they are old etonians! In fact it may well go down well with them... but you are right they will NEVER do well in Scotland!
