G20 over with.

Well, that's part-one of Brown laying the ground-work for re-election.

Part-two is the budget - which is a bit more tricky than the G20
meeting because the budget actually has to deliver something and will
be appraised by a nation of stakeholders. So that will be difficult,
but he'll put a few "sweeteners" in it.

After the budget in April, he's done. He cant then do anything really
tangible to promote his electoral prospects before he calls the
election (apart from to spin everything the way New Labour does all
the time anyway).

So what will he do?

Well, it looks like there'll be about 3m unemployed at Christmas.

So the election could well be in May or June this year.

Nice one. You could well be right. I doubt we'll see much improvement by 
  May 2010, so carpe diem!
