Guardian Unlimited Business | | Forget polls, our decadence may be Brown's downfall:
Read this article in today's Guardian (the paper version, which I don't often buy, but did today to read on the bus). Struck me as a very insightful view of the current political map in the UK at the moment. It outlines very clearly the challenge facing Brown - from Tories, voters, and Blairite ultras - if he is to make a success of his pitch at Labour leader. It strikes me that the comparisons with Gaitskell and Roy Jenkins are valid - and worrying for Brown. More interesting though is Larry Elliot's comparison of David Camerson not with Blair, but with Neil Kinnock. Very thought provoking. It's a shame the Guardian hid this article away on the Business pages.
