This weekend is only going to get more and more interesting. A quick look at the Beeb's Council Election Map tells you one hell of a lot about the current state of this government. It's been a long time since Tories took that many seats, and that many seats in the North, especially. It is a good day.

For all the hoo-hah over the 'other' parties, DC and co. have done extremely well in the UK's local elections this week, and Gordon Brown has shown us yet again why he a sniveling, sorry excuse for a Prime Minister.

KeepRightOnline maintains that this government's mandate ran out long ago, however for it to keep getting worse, and for them to keep clinging on requires a special kind of selfishness, and a special kind of contempt for the British public. Day after day, and resignation after resignation, the situation worsens for government and for country. Walking through Whitehall yesterday, one couldn't help but turn to face Parliament Square and sigh. A sigh for the British public, a sigh for the Labour government and a sigh to quell the overwhelming urge to storm the Palace and demand Comrade Brown's head on a plate.

Sunday will be especially revealing, as if the past few weeks have not been enough. The reason the public did not punish the Tories for the expenses scandal is that the public were indeed not even outraged by the expenses scandal (that's right, I said it). The public, KeepRightOnline feels, were more concerned with the way they have been governed- backed into a corner, surrounded by databases, stealth taxes and stripped of their liberties. The people know that while the Conservatives were just as guilty regarding the expenses, the party acted swiftly, and were certainly not the ones who have created this god-awful mess over the past twelve years.

Gordon Brown, the people are speaking, and they're speaking in the most eloquent and respectful manner- through the ballot box. Will you not now listen? Will you not now show one iota of democratic decency in stepping down and calling a General Election? Are you this pathologically incapable of seeing the writing on the wall?

This moment in history is staring you dead in the face, Brown- and all you can do is look at your shoes and hope it goes away. It will not. We will not. You are done.

KeepRightOnline would like to take this opportunity to congratulate everyone who went out and did their democratic deed yesterday. You voted. You made a difference. Regardless of who voted for, you did the right thing.

KeepRightOnline encountered far too many non-voters/abstainers/idiots (whatever you want to call them) yesterday and decided that while today will hopefully be a landslide for the Conservatives, and Sunday will knock Labour into fourth- it's about time we highlighted to those who can't be bothered, just why they now have no reason to complain until the next set of elections.

Kudos also to this man, who has said what dozens of Labour MPs have been dying to say.



Full transcript of the letter:

Dear Gordon,

We both love the Labour Party. I have worked for it for twenty years and you for far longer. We know we owe it everything and it owes us nothing.

I owe it to our Party to say what I believe no matter how hard that may be. I now believe your continued leadership makes a Conservative victory more, not less likely.

That would be disastrous for our country. This moment calls for stronger regulation, an active state, better public services, an open democracy. It calls for a Government that measures itself by how it treats the poorest in society. Those are our values, not David Cameron's.

We therefore owe it to our country to give it a real choice. We need to show that we are prepared to fight to be a credible Government and have the courage to offer an alternative future.

I am therefore calling on you to stand aside to give our Party a fighting chance of winning. As such I am resigning from Government.

The Party was here long before us, and we want it to be here long after we have gone. We must do the right thing by it.

I am not seeking the leadership, nor acting with anyone else. My actions are my own considered view, nothing more. If the consensus is that you should continue, then I will support the government loyally from the backbenches. But I do believe that this question now needs to be put.

Thank you for giving me the privilege of serving.

Yours,

Rt Hon James Purnell MP

Ladies and gentleman, fellow countrymen go forth today and do your democratic duty.

Today you have an opportunity for Vote for Change. To vote for the change we all so desperately need, in these times of economic and political instability.

The EU must hear the British public's voice. Let us be loud and let us be firm.

We want a referendum.

Vote Conservative today.

The Guardian has made yet another cheap pop at the Conservatives' new Movement for European Reform allies, the Polish Law and Justice Party. They demonised the entire eurosceptic movement by citing one MEP, Dr Urszula Krupa:

Global warming is a lie, homosexuality is a "pathology" and Europe is becoming a "neo-totalitarian" regime ... [for this] militant Roman Catholic and strong Polish nationalist

They go into depth about her background and associates at a radio station of which she was once editor. All very damning. Just one problem: she's not a member of the Law and Justice Party.

She is, actually, a member of the League of Polish Families, which is a militant traditionalist anti-capitalist Roman Catholic nationalist party. And whilst some of its members are in the same European grouping as Law and Justice - and will, thus, probably sit with the Conservatives - Krupa does not: she sits with UKIP.

Apology please.

Does that mean Miliband's next?

Stellar news, ladies and gents- the witch is dead! Which old witch?

The country breathed a sigh of relief today as criminals wondered whether or not they may soon have someone to fear as Home Secretary.

That's right friends, Jacqui Smith aka Little Miss Porn-Allowance (that wasn't as clever as it could have been) has announced she'll giving up stepping down as Home Secretary before Gordon Brown rearranges the deck chairs on the Titanic churns out the Labour Cabinet reshuffle.

How embarrassing this must be- but we'll bet this delusional hack thinks she's some kind of Jerry Maguire. The only question left to be answer is...

Who's going with her?

Jacqui Smith leaves the Cabinet...

Apologies for the light blogging lately- KRO MIA

Here's a little something that smarts for Brown and Co. Even though he's been doing his best media-whoring after taking tips from Peter and Jordan.

CON 40(-1)
LAB 18(-10)
LD 18 (4)

Sucks to be you, Gordo.
