Of course it is when the government stuffs up badly enough like Blair
and Brown did, the voters can see if the other lot can do any better.

I take it you'd agree that Thatcher stuffed things up too, then?

Very different with her, her party sacked her when she
insisted on having the poll tax and they decided that that
would be electoral suicide come the next general election.

The EU commissioners don’t have to care about what the next
EP election might do to them given that they can only be all
sacked at once by the EP and that has only ever happened once.
And the EP doesn’t even get to decide who the replacements will be.
