End to Brown Bounce

With the conference season over, and the PM's humiliating climbdown (see his interview with Andrew Marr) on the timing of the General Election we now seem to have seen a return to business as usual. With the News of the World reporting a Conservative lead of 6% in marginal seats and today's Sunday Times reporting a 3% lead overall, Labour's post Brown poll lead has evaporated. The Conservative Party are again setting the political agenda

With May 2009 likely (in my view) to be the date of the next election, I am now sure that this will be accompanied with a change in Prime Minister.
