Quote:Brown would have to be out of his mind to call an early election.I don't agree. I personally think it would cause the same amount of damage either way.
If he doesn't call an early election, he angers the already angry British public who have been calling for an election since...erm...two years ago. His party are already falling away from him, and it is clear that the majority of the people don't want him in power. If he calls an election now, he might just save his party.
If he does call an early election, he won't anger the British public again, but he won't get their vote either. Current polls suggest that the Conservatives would win as they rightly should IMO.
Just look at these recent EU election results. The Lib Dems (the third largest party) almost beat Labour in seats, and UKIP (not a very mainstream party until now) beat Labour by more than 2%.
