2007 General Election? Update

I was at a meeting today which was also attended by a number of Lib Dem organisers. After talking with them it was clear they all believed there would be a General Election next October and the Lib Dems were preparing for such an event. Now based on my previous post this would tie in with Blair leaving around next May and Brown winning the leadership election. Both these scenarios I can believe becoming a reality.

One further piece of evidence that I was told today, is that the BBC is preparing its exit poll. This is a lengthy and costly process, so the BBC wouldn’t start unless they believed there was some chance.

Still means a year to go though, anything can happen during that time in politics.
