What will this mean for Brown?
In theory nothing as these were local elections but it is an indication that the coutry is not happy with the government and Brown in particular.
I think that the Labour Party will replace him sooner than later so it looks as if we are set for a thrid Prime Minister in less than a year. This time though I wonder if they will go to the country I have my doubts as at present I do not think the Labour Party would be re-elected even if people are not that keen on Cameron I think he and his party would be preferred over the current bunch.
