Could Glasgow North East offer Brown hope?

0

Gordon Brown needs good news right now — any good news — and some respite from the the constant air of doom and gloom surrounding the Prime Minister and the Labour Party may be on the way this week courtesy of Glasgow, the city where he was born 58 years ago. With only three days until voters go to the polls, Mr Brown is looking to the Glasgow North East by-election on Thursday to give him and his party the reassurance that they can still see off their opponents in a seat where the description “traditional Labour heartland” is an understatement. Although technically the seat is held by no party — it elected the former Speaker Michael Martin at the last two general elections — everyone knows that it is Labour’s to lose. Former Speaker Martin, now Lord Martin of Springburn, had a 10,000 majority over the Scottish National Party in 2005 in a seat that he had held since 1979.
