Gordon Brown Pass For A "Deflated" To The Press

A French blog comments on Gordon Brown confirming that there will not be an election. Martin Linton is mentioned.

Certains disent que quoi que Brown ait décidé, il aurait fait une erreur politique. Le travailliste Martin Linton vient pourtant à son secours : “Quand on regarde de précédents Premier ministres qui ont convoqué des élections anticipées, ce n’est pas très encourageant, ça a été un fiasco. Je pense qu’il a eu raison d’agir comme il l’a fait.”

Which Google Translate renders into English as

Some say that whatever Brown's decision, it would have made a political mistake. The Labour Martin Linton has yet to his rescue: "When you look at previous Prime Ministers, which convened early elections, it is not very encouraging, it was a fiasco. I think it was right to act as he did."
