Labour's "Resounding Victory"

You can tell when a party is really down on its luck when a win that should be taken for granted is hyped as a "resounding victory." Put simply, Glasgow North-East would return an over-ripe turd to Parliament if it was fighting the election under the Labour banner. After all, they sent a pig in a suit to Parliament many times simply because he claimed to be a socialist.

This isn't a victory for Labour and for Gordon Brown; it is a victory for inertia and the inability of the people of Glasgow North-East to work out that things don't get better, no matter how many times they vote Labour.

However, I'm not going to carp on too much about this. Let Labour claim their "resounding victory"; let them have their moment of tenuous glory. Because come the next General Election, I don't think they will be in a position to claim any sort of a victory, resounding of otherwise...
