As it says on the tin, what would happen if five years later Brown went to the polls in 2007 and won a fourth consecutive yet slim Labour victory? Brown would face the blunt of being the party of government for 15 years, having a recession under his leadership, with a sure defeat come 2012. Just how bad would that defeat be for Labour? Would we see Cameron stay on after 2007, and if so would he be the main beneficiary to Brown's decline, or could the Lib Dems take Labour spot as the opposition, possibly even denying the Tories a majority or overtake them after seeing the opposition take four straight losses?
