Mugabe or Tsvangerei

If you were to ask the average Briton if it was better for Zimbabwe to be under the governance of the experienced Robert Mugabe or the inexperienced Morgan Tsvangerei, I suspect I now what the answer would be. I imagine opinion is divided in Zimbabwe itself, although things got so desperate that many obviously plumped for Tsvangerei feeling they had nothing to lose.
The narrowing of the polls in the UK is beginning to indicate that British voters are prepared to re-elect Brown, either with a Labour majority or a Lib-Lab coalition. Saints preserve us!
It is astonishing to me that the UK electorate is now contemplating another five years of this deeply unpleasant and inadequate leader but it has to be said that the Conservatives have only themselves to blame for this. In more comfortable times the electorate would be happy to throw the government out and take a chance on the new boys - as they did in 1997. Now they need to be told why they must change. better the devil you know. . . . . .
