Give Gordon Brown credit for chutzpah at least. Then again, what else if left to the poor man? It’s tough to be the incumbent and run a campaign based on the promise of Change. But this seems to be what El Gordo is attempting. Good luck with that.
Labour appear to have accepted that they’ve lost the Change vs Experience battle and so they’ve opted, rather brazenly you might say, to present themselves and their platform as “Real Change”. The Tories, on the other hand, presumably offer phoney Change. It’s a risky business, this Change stuff and you have to be very careful you don’t buy the wrong type of Change.
This leads us to the curious situation in which the sitting government argues that replacing them with the opposition would be to maintain the same-old same-old everyone is heartily sick of.
