Prepare for 2010

Peter Hoskin 5:11pm

As Iain Dale reports, Wendy Alexander may have let slip with with the date of the next election.  Here's what she told the Glasgow Herald:

"We're now in a continuous campaigning environment where we look forward to European elections next year, the General Election the year after that, the Scottish Parliament election the year after that and the council elections the year after, and really transforming our organisation for that environment."

So that makes it 2010.  No huge surprise, but now we can mentally prepare for (at least) two more years of Brownies.

Poor old Wendy. She tries so hard. And she gets it so wrong. How long before she is jettisoned?

No real surprise there though. Brown is holding out another year in the hope that 'things can only better better'. Unfortunately for Labour, the longer they leave it, the bigger the Conservative victory / majority will be.
