    My European Election Prediction

    Are you looking forward to the evening's events? The final of The Apprentice (with one of Gordon's best buddies doing the hiring) and then more humiliation for Gordon when the European Election results come rolling in.

    For what it's worth (and I am not always correct in my predictions of election results), the Conservatives are going to be the big winners. Then UKIP. Then the Lib Dems. Labour are going to be in fourth place. 

    If this does happen, Brown will have lead his party to the worst election result in living memory. Truly uncharted waters. What will this mean for Brown? It all depends on how many Labour MPs have the balls to say to the prime minister the game is up. I am sure every Labour MP has been having conversations this weekend with their constituency chairmen and activists. I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall whilst some of those conversations were taking place. Perhaps Brown's fate will ultimately be decided by the Labour grassroots. Traditionally loyal, a recent opinion poll reveals half of them want him to go. This will increase after tonight's results have been absorbed. 

    Brown is not out of the woods yet. Tomorrow is going to be an interesting day.
