Do you trust Gordon Brown with the economy?
Over the last couple of years there is no doubt that Gordon Brown has received more than his fair share of criticism with regards to the UK economy and its recent performance. However, the truth is that whether you like Gordon Brown or not he has never wavered from his belief that the UK economy would turn around after injecting billions upon billions of pounds of UK taxpayer's money into the system.
He was mocked by many for his determined and focused approach to the economy and only a few weeks ago he was being ridiculed by EU counterparts. However, after the recent turnaround in the UK economy many people are now starting to regain their trust in Gordon Brown and his economic policies.
While there are many potential reasons why voters may well move to the Conservative party at the next election, with the need for change, recent economic performance and possibly the MPs expenses scandal amongst them, the main reason in the eyes of many was the handling of the UK economy. Unfortunately for David Cameron, who has gone fairly quiet on the public front over the last few days, many UK voters are now starting to regain their trust in Gordon Brown and this could be a disaster for the leader of the Conservative party.
