The UK people still prefer him as the next prime minister above any tories, by a factor of two to one. That was reported in the Torygraph over the weekend, so the chances are that he is even more popular than that.

That demonstrates two things: people's ignorance of the economy, and the tories' lack of substance and presentation.

You mean they don't understand the options are, Boom and Bust or Bust and Boom?

You've lost count, it is three times now. You've given me a good laugh though - Two Jags as prime minister!

It doesn't matter actually, because New Labour Special Advisors run the government, not the prime minister. He is told what his new ideas will be.

I think it is highly unlikely that Gordon will be the next PM. As they they a week is a long time in politics let alone 3 years.

Whether they prefer him as next prime minister in a few years time is another question, certainly if he starts raising taxes or the economy takes a nose-dive.

As for people's ignorance of the economy, its as much a case of NL and Gordon having done their usual wonderful job of spinning everything in a way too many people are happy to believe.
