That time has come again, and some would say it's been too long in the waiting. Gordon Brown announced at the start of this week that a general election will be held on May 6th 2010 sparking the proclamation of pledges, plans and prosperity by the three main parties scrambling to take the throne for the next few years.
The Labour Party has come under a great deal of fire during their time in power, with the Iraq war continuing to claw at their backs, Tony Blair stepping down after poor election results and with the more recent expense scandal, you have to wonder, is Brown going gentle into that good night?
Honestly, after listening to what people near me have to say about the government, local councils and politicians, I get the distinct impression that whoever takes the reigns of prime minister next will be drowned by the voices of discontent. During the height of any political battle, the news will be inundated with people criticizing a party's plans or performance, and any positives only seem to be presented as a defense case.
One thing is guaranteed, whoever is voted in will have some high expectations to meet and I feel no matter how hard they try, it seems certain they will be struggling to keep up their popularity next time the voting season is upon us.
