Will he or won't he?

That is the question burning on everyone's lips this week. Will Gordon call a snap election.

Well, passing an objective look over the issues, if I was Gordon, I wouldn't. It has been widely reported and speculated that if he did call an election it's because he is hiding something with the state of the economy. That will obviously ring a few more alarm bells should the call be made.

However, there are lot of pros and cons. The pros would include the poll ratings recently, and the fact he would instantly destroy the tories party conference next week (of which I am not going to because of a number of factors). But on the cons side, is the foot and mouth "all clear" farce, the northern rock debacle, and the EU constitution referendum question.

Besides that, he doesn't need to call one. Like I said if I was him, I wouldn't. Why risk what you have waited for, for over ten years.

Mind you should the call for an election come, something that the Labour spin doctors have failed to grasp on, there has been so much whispering as to whether there will or won't be an election, that most target constituancies already have their election commitees in place, structures set, and are ready and waiting. I should know from the email traffic that I've received over the last week, as I'm in on of those target areas.

It would be a brave decision to risk it by Brown, and somehow don't think that he will rush. Well, not until next May.
