Not only is the Labour Party expected to lose local elections, Prime Minister Gordon Brown risks a revolt from his own party in Parliament. Labor’s problems stem from Brown’s support for the elimination of the 10p tax bracket, which will result in a tax-increase for five million of Britain’s poorest. The public outcry against Brown’s proposed tax-hike has been so severe that some have predicted Labour will likely finish not only behind the Tories, but also behind the Liberal Democrats on May 1! Left-wing loon and London mayor Ken Livingstone is even in a tight race for reelection after the British tabloids revealed that he has a third love child. (It would seem there are limits to what even Europeans consider personal.) As much as I’d love to see the Tories take over London, I will miss Livingstone’s pearls of wisdom as when he advised London citizens, in an effort to promote water conservation, “If it’s yellow, let it mellow; if it’s brown, flush it down.” Well, the people might heed this advice when they flush the Labour Party down the toilet along with number two.
