This doesn't preclude that
It just means that Mandelson and Brown don't want another election ...
So hint hint..it might be forced?

A great update. I love your characterisation of Brown.

Hmm, Woolas reminds me that there were a few by-elections coming up over 2011. Most are insignificant - Old and Sad becomes more difficult for Labour and Sir Peter Soulsby may not be allowed to stand as elected mayor of Leicester. The rest are unavoidable, I suspect. There's not much out there in 2011 for the Yellow Peril or the Kippers.
So unless the Labour party wants to commit suicide, I suspect they should be able to hold on.

Just come across this subscribed. You seem to have done a really interesting job of characterisation, you clearly know a hell of a lot. Are you just running off the media and the various autobiographies which have come out since 2010 or is any of this based on first hand knowledge.
Good question ...IIRC it was not long after this that the Eurozone crisis really started to head into deeply scary territory, wasn't it? Given Brown's OTL enthusiasm for posing as the hero of events by spending vast quantities of other people's money, just how much is he going to put us in for?

Glad to see this continuing.
I should imagine modelling early 2011 will become tricky due to 'what political news stories take the place of the AV referendum'. On the same subject, I presume Brown did not dangle the AV bait in front of the Lib Dems just prior to the 2010 election in TTL?
