Time for cool heads

After being relatively quiet since the Conservative Party conference, David Davis made a low-key yet incredibly important statement today.  With support for the party at a 15-year high and a poll lead of around 7% according to the Sunday papers David Davis called for cool heads from Conservatives around the country, who are probably still busy bouncing off the walls.  But if we wind back the clock a few months, you will remember that the Conservatives had an even bigger lead in the polls and thought the end was nigh for the Labour Party, only for Gordon Brown to enjoy his (thankfully short-lived) honeymoon.
 
Let's face it - things really can't get much worse for Labour.  The likelihood is that in the next six months there will be a new and dynamic Lib Dem leader and Gordon Brown will have steadied the ship to some extent - both of which are likely to crank up the pressure on the Conservatives.  Hopefully they will be able to resist these attacks with a combination of strong leadership and continued progress with policy initiatives, but despite the Labour Party self-destructing and Ming Campbell's career coming to an end there will be little margin for error over the next two years.
