The CRUSHING loss of a Scottish parliamentary seat in a by-election has many Labor MPs worried about the future of the party for the next generation or so.
Result? It’s pretty hot in Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s kitchen.
Some of the party leadership wants to force a confidence vote this fall if there’s no other change on the horizon and Brown hasn’t agreed to step down. Justice Minister Jack Straw is being encouraged to lean on Brown.
Union leaders are also pushing Brown; I’m not sure where they would go if they took a pass on Labor for an election.
I think a Conservative government would get on OK with Obama, though better with McCain.
But, if the Lib Dems finally crack the two-party wall? All bets are off.
