LDV readers say: Brown will lead Labour into the next general election

That’s the overwhelming verdict of almost two-thirds of Lib Dem Voice readers, according to our recent poll asking, “Do you think Gordon Brown will get to enjoy a second anniversary as Prime Minister?” However, a fairly significant minority – 21% – dissented, taking the view that the Labour party will choose to ditch their leader within the next 12 months.

Here are the results in full…

We asked:
“Do you think Gordon Brown will get to enjoy a second anniversary as Prime Minister?”

You said:
No – the Labour party will dump him as an electoral liability: 119 (21%)
No – he will stand down in the next year for the good of the party: 23 (4%)
No – he will call and lose a general election in the next year: 66 (12%)
Yes – he will withstand the pressure and still be there: 348 (63%)

Total Votes: 556. Poll ran: 23rd June – 19th July, 2008
