Election. No not that one.
It looks like the awful economy is doing Gordon Brown a lot of favours...
Labour won the Glenrothes by-election despite everyone thinking the Scottish National Party would overturn Labour's 10K majority. Instead Labour actually increased their share of the vote (though the SNP did get a swing of 5%).
Now instead of Gordon Brown facing a palace revolution, it looks like the SNP leader might be in trouble. It looks like the problem was expectation management - the SNP were telling everyone they were bound to win, maybe they should have been a bit more cagey.
