Why Gordon Brown Did Not Call An Election: Official
IT was because, as the No 10 website reveals:
Gordon Brown has said there will be no general election this year following mounting media speculation.
In an interview with the BBC in Downing Street, the PM said he had a “vision for change” for the country that he wanted to implement. He added that he wanted the “chance to develop policies” following an initial period in office spent tackling a number of emergencies such as foot and mouth and July’s terror attacks.
That’s right. It was the media wot dunnit.
Not Douglas Alexander, International Development Secretary and general election co-ordiantor, who believed an autumn election would “close the deal” on David Cameron.
Not Ed Balls, Schools Secretary, who said during the Labour Party conference that it might be a gamble to delay.
It was the media that speculated.
Not Labour.
Not Gordon Brown, even though the Sun’s Trevor Kavanagh says Brown looks like a “constipated ditherer” and “has only himself to blame for the non-election shambles”.
It was them. It was the media…
