Phew, Brown Survived.

I'm pleased that Gordon Brown hung on. That's partly becuase I'm a Tory, of course, and he is one of the greatest vote losers of all time, who may well destroy his party and the centre left for a generation. But it is also because being deposed is too good for him. Within a few years, he'd have spun a myth about how he was a great leader, betrayed by jealous Blair-ites. Far better for him to be crushed pittilessly by the most damning defeat in recent electoral history.
