Even with the Brown effect in full flow the Tories couldn't get an outright victory so that's more telling then anything I can say really.

Oh, I agree with you, the choice of leader is crucial to any party, since he or she is the figurehead and the entire party is judged (rightly or wrongly) on how the public perceive the leader. However, I have to disagree with you about Labour being back in power again anytime soon because I believe that now most of the GBP have realised the mess we are in is all down to them.
