Gordon Brown is finished. And the Labour Party might be too

The Times
"I always enjoy a good funeral,” a Labour MP said as he wandered along the seafront in Brighton. If the polls are to be believed, Gordon Brown is dead and the Government is on the verge of being buried — but is the Labour Party itself also heading for the grave?
......In this country Labour is wobbling as it becomes increasingly financially dependent on the trade unions and its support base shrinks to a core vote. After more than a decade in power, the coalition of working and middle-class voters that swept it to victory in 1997 is fracturing."
