According to the very latest YouGov poll commissioned by the Telegraph. 60% of voters want Gordon Brown to call a general election by the autumn rather than wait until next year.
The poll sample was a MASSIVE 5000 which must make it one of the most authoritative surveys around.
Asked when the next general election should be held, 18 per cent said Brown should go to the country within the next few weeks, 42 per cent said he should wait until the autumn, and 32 per cent believe he should wait until next year.
Voting intentions for the European elections, for those who can be arsed, show there is so little between Labour, the Lib Dems and Ukip that predicting which of them will come fourth is too close to call. While the Tories are ahead on 27 per cent, Labour is on 17 per cent, Ukip on 16 per cent and the Lib Dems 15 per cent. One unassailable fact is the rise of the BNP who appear to be on target for four MEP seats in London, the North West, the West Midlands and Yorkshire & Humber.
Brown's popularity has slumped to a staggeringly low 17% putting him somewhere between Myra Hindley and Ian Huntley in the 'would you let them babysit the kids' stake.
All the smart money seems to be looking to Alan Johnson plunging the dagger into Brown within a week of the Euro election results and pitching for a General Election in the Autumn.
What place in history for Brown?
Has there ever been an unelected Prime Minister who didn't lead his party into a General Election? Gordon, this could be your legacy...

...Ah'll get ma coat.
Dinna underestimate this careerist creep's resiliance. He'll end up in a bunker in Berlin before caling it a day. with Balls and co with their weans at hand...... and Major Joyce with a can of petrol ready to burn the bodies, the fuel reclaimed on expenses! "All within the rules"
What is it wi youse SNP mob that yer gaggin on a Tory government at Westminster? You give decency a bad name.
Chat of an early election is plain dull. It aint gonna happen.
Gogs Broon will still be leader when the election happens a year fae noo. And all good peeps must hope there's a reversal of fortune and those Eton toffs do not win it.
If i'm wrong, tell me one way in which Scotland or any other part of the so called UK would be better under the Tories.
What-you-talkin' bout Naldo?
Folk don't give a flying chuff about Westminster. It's a tainted legislature, corrupt, venal and out of touch.
The Eton boating crew stick in the craw for me, as they will for the majority. Cameron in Number 10 will only hasten Independence.
If folk don't give a flyin chuff (cool expression byrraway), why the chuff are you postin aboot it?
The government down there will have a material impact on all our lives (like it or no - no obviously).
We should not depend on the unpopularity of a shower of silver spooned arch unionists to hasten our dream of an independent Scotland. The arguments will need to be won on their own merits.
We'd never have had devolution if they'd stayed in power and we'll never get independence if and while they regain it. It's all about empire wi them and we're virtually all they have left. They'll pull all kinda (unwritten) constitutional pish to keep us in our place.
"...Rebellious Scots to crush" etc.
Grrrrrrr...i hate the tories!
Naldo - New Labour and Tory are two faces of the same agenda. However, Scots of the working class variety suffer from cognitive dissonance when it comes to labour, but will never accept a Tory government ever again. That's why it'll take a Tory win at Westminster to wake them up to the absolute necessity of independence.
I think that 60% might get the wish they want, SNP/Paid have the support of the Cons and Libs now, bring it on..
Muck received your message!!!!
Erm....i'm feeling a little silly for comment number 3, paragraph 3, sentence 1 above.
Never take a racing tip off me.
