CUI BONO?
"Brown's woes grow with loss in Scotland" by Ben McConville, Associated Press | July 26, 2008
GLASGOW - Britain's governing party suffered a sobering election defeat in a Scottish stronghold yesterday, a personal rebuke to Prime Minister Gordon Brown from voters in one of the country's poorest districts at a time of growing economic uncertainty.
For more than 50 years, the Labor Party had held the seat in its eastern Glasgow stronghold - a crime-infested maze of tenement housing where life expectancy is 63 years for men, the same average for Bangladesh. Unemployment has hovered at roughly 10 percent - twice the British national average - but around half of the working-age population is estimated to be jobless and receiving hefty government benefits.
"I wanted to send shock waves through the Labor Party, to send a message to tell them to do something for us," said John French, 45, who's unemployed and voted for the Scottish National Party in the special election.
Labor's woes are reminiscent of the plight of the last Conservative government more than a decade ago - far behind in opinion polls and seemingly unable to win an election anywhere. That government, led by John Major, was swept away in a landslide in 1997 by Labor's charismatic and young Tony Blair.
I'll bet they regret that move! Putting the War Criminal Bliar in power!
"This is an indictment of what has gone wrong with Labor and what used to be known as the people's party," said John Mason, who captured the district's seat for the Scottish Nationalist Party.
"We understand and we hear people's concerns," Brown said yesterday, a day after the results from the Thursday ballot were announced. "We will do whatever is necessary over the next few months to help hard-working families through these difficult times."
The Labor Party's popularity has since waned with a backlash over the unpopular Iraq war and mounting economic woes confronting Brown. Brown chose not to call an early general election last year - a decision that some say squandered his favorable ratings in the polls after his deft handling of a foot-and-mouth disease outbreak, flash floods, and failed terror attacks in London and Glasgow.Not to be jokey, but why does V instantly pop into my head?
Some in Brown's own party even hinted he should resign before the next national election.
Uh-oh!!!
Calling Mr. Aswat or Mr. Khan! Come in!
