PM Brown is being criticized for delaying elections by Corina Ciubotaru

Gordon Brown, Britain's Prime Minister is being criticized by all opposing forces but he's not changing his mind about the early elections he once wanted but gave up on. Accused of fearing a negative outcome in the elections, he continues undisturbed on his quest to reform Britain, which he started 3 months ago, after becoming PM. In the end, he still has time until 2010 to call a vote so why worry? He was leading in all the previous polls except for the one last week and has gained popularity after dealing with a possible epidemic and devastating floods. Conservatives took the lead after a number of popular propositions, including cutting taxes for the middle class and a translation in an election this year would mean the Labour would lose 50 seats in their opponents' favor. It looks like the stage is set for a battle between Brown and Conservative leader David Cameron, who wastes no opportunity to attack him and now has the 41 percent to back him up. It's not like the 3 point difference could not be made up by the Labour but it seems the Prime Minister is going to take it slow and show the country what good things can be done by a competent government. His determined and strong style makes him a worthy opponent for Cameron and he took responsibility for delaying this much-anticipated election, by claiming he had other things to worry about during his first 100 days in office, including a bank crisis with Northern Rock.
