  BarryW I would think its very unlikely Gordon Brown would call an election in the middle of the current economic crises for the simple reason that people(the voters) would not focus on it. People are very concerned right now with the falling standard of living, the massive job losses, the mortage problem and potential loss of home, etc etc. the last thing they would want right now are people knocking on their doors asking them to vote for Joan or Joe Bloggs. So the timing would be all wrong.
  
  Also from a more cynical perspective, I saw the polls you put up yesterday which showed Labour in a disapointing light...well nobody with a poll reading like that will call and election as it would be simply handing power to the opposition. You more or less said this yourself above.
