| Summary/Abstract |
THE GENERAL ELECTION in Britain was drawing a close media attention since it was out of the ordinary. Indeed, news was coming in thick and fast. At the same time, expectations that the leader of the Conservative Party, David Cameron, would enter Number 10 the next day the votes were counted, on Friday, May 7 proved wrong. Which of the events were expected and which were fortuitous? As always, the devil is in the details, which we are going to go into to dig up background information.
You will recall that Gordon Brown took over as leader of the Labour Party in late June 2007. The impression was, after Tony Blair's resignation, that, lacking the charisma of his predecessor, but winning a solid reputation during ten years in the position of Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown would be able to help Labour to find their second wind.
