You're saying on one hand that the government can't predict a recession, then you're saying that they should ultimately be held responsible. No country involved in the recession came out of it very well and under Brown Britain did a lot better than most others. Would I say Darling would've done a better job than Vince Cable? Possibly. Would i say he'd have done a better job than George Osborne? Absolutely.
In relation to the latter point, I'm sorry to use a football analogy here but if Rafa Benitez isn't getting things done, that's reason enough to get rid of him, but not if it means replacing him with Phil Brown. And as far as I'm concerned, that's exactly what the country has voted for.
