20. To be brutally honest...

...unlike 2006, this mauling had less to do with Blair and more to do with a bad economic policy, introduced by Gordon Brown just before he became PM. The policy in question is Brown's decision to abolish the bottom tax rate, thus shafting the people on the bottom rung of the ladder.

With food and fuel prices on the up this has not been a good move for the government, or the economy for that matter.
