What can Brown possibly do now to win this election?

[Pavilionaire]

Post-gaffe, desperate times call for desperate measures. IMHO he has one card left to play to appeal to the English voters and those north of the border:

Declare war on Wales.

 

[Normal Rob]

what and lose the welsh vote?

 

[Don Quixote]

Declare war on someone and postpone the election. It is the only way he can bide his time.

I think he's going to hav to do what the South Africans did in the 80s.

Round up his opponents, dump them in the shittest part of the country (a 10 mile radius around Luton) and tell them that's their new country, thereby wiping them off the map of the UK.

In all seriousness, all Brown can realistically hope for is to hold his key marginals. Thus giving him the larger number of seats (even if he has a smaller vote share) and therefore a decent negtiating position in a hung parliament. However, if this happens, I fully expect to see a younger and more PR savvy Labour PM to come in to broker any coalition deal...

 

[Pavilionaire]

I've got another idea.

Greece needs the cash, Brown needs the votes. How about he does a deal so the Greeks get some of our gold but all British men get a weeks free holiday and unlimited sex with the Greek women? Just take your razor....a similar deal could be extended to women, provided they were happy staying at Lesbos.

I've long held the view that any party which pledges to make St Georges Day a public holiday would get a MASSIVE boost to their vote.

Well, not in Wales, Scotland or N Ireland obviously, but then who cares what they think anyway.

 

[beorhthelm]

resign?

 

[Brighton Breezy]

This one HONEST 'gaffe' won't knock off any votes.

 

[bhafc99]

Sign for Sheff Wednesday and score the winning goal that relegates Palace?

It will.

Really ?
Its a prime example of exactly how two-faced our politicians are. They'll say one thing to your face when they're out campaigning, then when they think they're our of earshot, the pretence is dropped and they'll say something completely different. I know we all know politicians do this anyway. But Gordon has just gone and given irrefutible evidence of it, in public, at the worst possible moment.

He's dead in the water.

I just don't think most non-politically minded people will care to be honest...

 

[Easy 10]

Probably not.
But the non-politically minded folk probably won't be voting anyway. Or if they did, they'd probably 'give that bloke who called the old dear a bigot' a fairly wide berth.

Can't see it winning any for sure
