So the Tories' situation in 1995 was worse than Labour's in 2009 (from what we know for certain will happen, not from what's possible). Of course there's the slight difference of 2 years to the polls vs one.

Major had constant trouble with his cabinet. Granted, he usually had to sack them when they refused to walk after being found corrupt and incompetent, rather than see them resign when he didn't want them to. He was also pretty continuously more popular than his party.

He also lost his parliamentary majority through defections at one point IIRC. That's not happened to Brown, at least not yet. Grin

Guys, this was more about "Who is headed towards a bigger defeat?"
Similar, I'd say. Though, of course, the title probably should read "2010". Grin
