Gordon Brown could come third and still win because of the way the electoral system is set up. We use a first past the post system like America, rather than a popular vote system. This is because in each constituency we are voting for our local MP, not the overall party.
Since the votes are so widespread, you'll have a lot of conservative and lib dem votes wasted in the individual constituency races if Labour win that constituency. It seems perfectly fair to me; if a party wants to win seats it has to convince the majority population of that seat.
