Brown needs the support of the people, else he could develop a bunker-mentality like most prime ministers do, and that's not good for anyone.

 

Unfortunately unless he does something spectacular he won't win approval. A lot of people are scared, jobless and/or angry about the economy. I personally have lost out because of the housing market slump. Not Gordon's fault but people in general see an election as an easy target to kick the government and vent their frustration. An election now would be a Tory landslide.

 

 Yeah.

I think it's all particularly interesting. I mean, Milliband soon hushed his gums about leadership when news of a recession started flapping about. Tories will win the next election, but (I think) they'll be a one termer once people realise that the Tories can't really do much to help the economy. The (probably) 2015 election will be a tough one for both parties, but I think Labour will edge out with their leader being Milliband.
