Crewe and Nantwich By Election

The outcome of Crewe and Nantwich has me in 2 minds; I would love to see Labour annihilated and the ensuing descent of the Labour Party in to anarchy. However, they might hen ditch Brown (he won't resign) and a new leader might, just might, save them at the next election. On the other hand if they somehow scrape a respectable result we'll have Brown for another 2 years and that means an almost certain defeat for them in the next GE, barring "Events, Dear Boy, Events".

On balance I'll take the schadenfreude of a crushing defeat for Labour in general and Brown in particular and trust to chance the effect of a new leader.
