President-in-waiting Brown

The main theme of the back-slapping and self-gratification of the Labour Party conference appears to have been the promotion of Gordon Brown from Traitor Bliar wannabe to president-in-waiting.

The Deputy General of the Scottish Raj made a rousing speech telling the carefully vetted crowd of Labour cronies how great Britain was going to be under his wing. He even plans to visit all of the nations and regions of the UK.

It's all mapped out already it seems - Bliar steps down a year before the next election, Gordy steps into the breach and sweeps to a stunning election victory and the nations and regions bathe in his glory.

Only one problem. Short of "improving" the electoral boundaries again, Labour haven't got much chance of winning the next election. Actually, make it two problems - I still have a pulse and Labour will breeze through the next election over my cold, dead body.
