The boy Cameron is now calling for Brown to decide upon an election:
DAVID CAMERON this weekend challenged Gordon Brown to “stop dithering” and call a general election as the Tory leader unveiled radical tax-cut plans ahead of a make-or-break party conference in Blackpool.
I’m not entirely sure whether this is bravado or simply a glorified political suicide note… Everything suggests that the British public have been brainwashed into dependence on the state and feel that the control freaks currently in power are looking out for their interests – as opposed, that is, for their own grubby ends, the pursuit and possession of absolute power for its own sake. Everything suggests, therefore, that the bastards will win another term if they go to the polls now.
Frankly, while I have little time for Cameron; he is a vacuous waste of space who vacillates instead of providing a robust set of alternative polices; it is time for a change. A change will provide us with a brief honeymoon period before he follows in the footsteps of his predecessor and starts to clamp down on liberty. The chances of electing a government that genuinely looks after the interests of the electorate are remote as this will mean politicans making much of their activities redundant.
If they won’t voluntarily commit suicide, then perhaps it is time for the rope and lamp-post approach. A few gibbets outside the palace of Westminster might concentrate the minds of those feeding at the trough inside. 
You have sat too long for any good you have been doing lately… Depart, I say; and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!

Its pure politicking (spin?). By calling for an election, if Brown fails to call an election – he can call Brown a chicken. If he does call one then Cameron has to pretend to be happy about it, simple as that.
Personally, I would prefer that there isn’t an early election. The longer Brown remains in power, the more chance there is of his popularity waning. And, possibly, the Tories changing their leader to someone more electable, which would be a bonus.
LR, your second comments sums it up. I said pretty much the same over at DK’s, only longer.
I don’t think the Tories will ditch Dave until after the next election, if he loses.
The question is will Brown continue in his cowardly ways and wait until 2009, or will he be pushed into having a snap election? Personally I think his cowardice is so ingrained that he will not hold an election this year, or next…
Let’s face it he’s been waiting for this gig for what 10-12 years now, he’s hardly going to take even the smallest chance of losing his position this early!!
