Prepare for Government?

A year ago I was at party conference in Blackpool handing out Tory Radio CDs. The view was Brown could/would call an election and the smart money was that he would probably have pulled of an election victory.
Nick Robinson has whose blog really is a must read has an interesting piece on whether the party is the Government in waiting. Having attended the Labour conference in Manchester last week – it was clear Brown had to perform to save his skin.
Cameron has an equally tough challenge. The expectation for Brown were so low that anything half decent would and did suffice. The expectations for team Cameron are so high that the leader and his shadow cabinet now have to show they are really ready to return to power.
I have to say, this is one conference I am really looking forward to.
