On top of the large number of Labour’s cabinet resignations ahead of yesterday’s disastrous county council results, Brendan O’Neill tells it straight in Spiked today:

“It is time we had a General Election, not, as David Cameron says, so that we can express our anger about expenses, but so we can hold the political class properly to account- including Purnell, Smith, Blears and Brown- for their attempted transformation of Britain into an illiberal, risk-averse, mistrustful society, their degredation of political life and political debate in preference of petty court-style politics, and their utter lack of vision for a future good society and how Britain might pull through the recession.”

Further evidence of the Labour party in government falling apart. One MP involved in the expenses scandal has quit triggering what could be a damaging by-election.

In the end, the day of reckoning will eventually come… and even Brown, and Labour, will not be able to postpone the inevitable defeat at the polls any longer.

The Labour party will certainly lose the next general election. When you look at the early election results for the county council elections, their share of the vote in what was previously their safest areas collapsed dramatically.

Despite everything that is happening, Prime Minister Gordon Brown remains continually in denial, thinking that he can salvage an internal crisis that was of his own making. Even many of his loyal cabinet stooges are resigning, and there have been allegations that many MPs in the parliamentary party want him to stand down now.

Like many people in this country, I’ve long hated Brown, not personally, but for his policies. A while ago, I posted what could have been a short, and blunt, resignation speech. If he had gone then, Labour would have had to find a successor. The problem was, and is, that for all his faults, he has a higher stature than anybody else in the rest of the party.

The real obstacle to demands for change in Britain, is Labour. Hopefully, when they are defeated at the general election, the party will be reduced to a small rump of members and supporters. The real challenge for the political centre left in the future, is to create a new party that could rise from Labour’s ashes.

Until then, we, the people of Britain, must call on Brown… and the Labour party… to quit power.

Have you voted in today’s County and European Parliament elections yet? If not, why not?

We’ve been given a big chance to vote for a better, fairer and brighter Britain. We’re angry because of the MPs expenses row, we’re angry that we still have to tolerate a Labour government which continues  disentigrating by the day. We’re angry that the deep economic recession is killing off UK businesses one by one.

We say, enough is enough. We cannot rely on the professional politicians to get the country out of the mire. We need to take action, now, because if we don’t, what is happening now may get much, much worse.

Vote today…. for a better tomorrow.
