New Statesman: Reports on comments by the last Labour Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling, Mr Darling stated that when Gordon Brown failed to call an election in 2007 he really hurt Labour's chances of winning in 2010. The decision by Gordon Brown not to call an election in 2007 was an example of Gordon Brown at his worse, he didn't stand against Tony Blair in 1994, he caused havoc in Government by blocking the public sector reforms of Tony Blair, he pushed out Blair in 2007 with his constant coup attempts, then he made sure that when he become leader there was no contest, he wanted the Crown but didn't want to fight for it, the chance of going early and losing was to much for Brown thus his bottling of the election. The real black mark against Tony Blair is that he left the UK with Gordon Brown, that is worse that Iraq folks.
