The Bye Bye Gordon Countdown Thread

[Gonzo]

Well there is strictly only a nationalist party in Quebec. The other regional party - Reform - was pretty well restricted to the three western provinces. However, Reform merged with the Progressive Conservatives a few years back. This created a party with full national appeal. Previously the PC's couldn't form a government because the Reform party would take away seats in PC's powerbase. That doesn't happen anymore. The three opposition parties could easily take down the government - but don't because they are in such disarray that that could had the Conservatives a majority. Interestingly, the Canadian PM is more of a jerk than GB but he manages to retain power.

I was on holiday in Canada while the last general election was being fought and while I don't claim to have acquired vast insight into the processes there the impressions I was left with was of a pooping puffin and some irrelevant french speaking people. Nothing else seemed to matter.

Bye bye Gordon, er, -1 days to go.

I hear on the radio this morning that a Labour insider wanting to stay off the record says that Gordon knows the game is up. They had also been expecting a heavy defeat all year.

The party may know that. It would explain why none of them would stand to replace him.

However, I really don't think that the psycho snot goblin does.

The Sun front page, the Daily Mash would have been proud of that one.

We don't know where to count from. There's no one to tell us. What the hell do we do now?

N.10 is just going to be a pile of pizza boxes by the time Gordon's out.
