I think that's pretty close to the mark.

What baffles me is what the few rebels think a leadership election, secret ballot, or what-have-you will actually achieve to benefit Labour; all it seems to be doing is making their situation worse. I've said before People are Stupid.

As far as I can tell, Labours only hope is to sit tight and do the best they can in the circumstances and hope that the global economic situation improves.

For the record, I'm not a Labour supporter, nor a Conservative one, and I'm not even sure that I support the Lib Dems at the moment. But I can see the benefit for the country in not having the upheaval that would come from either a Labour leadership challenge (etc.) or a General Election at the moment. So Cameron and Clegg clammering for an Election is just rather pointless. While Labour isn't doing particularly well at the moment, I don't think the Conservatives would manage any better, and I doubt that the Lib Dems could actually get a majority to even try to form a government, and I suspect they would have much the same difficulties.
