Actually, maybe there are two questions to answer: what would he *like*, and what will happen? I'm answering the former, but whether he'll last that long...
I'd have thought he would do his damndest to hold on until the tenth anniversary. It has the right sort of sound to it.
The problem is that that would mean another local elections campaign with him still there, and I wonder whether he has/will have become too much of a liability for the party to risk that.
I was sure he wanted to outstrip Thatcher, but that doesn't seem possible any more. I just have this feeling that he's trying to get another successor in place rather than Brown; a Miliband or such like, someone absolutely Blairite.
I put that because I remembered a Doctor Who villain had said it; when I checked it turned out to be from "Genesis of the Daleks": "We are entombed, but we live on. This is only the beginning... When the time is right we will emerge and take our rightful place as the supreme power of the Universe!"
I'ts fabulous. I can't thank you enough. Actually, I have the whole picture on my desktop at the moment. It's more disturbing the more you look at it - I just can't work out what's going on with Boromir's legs and arm.
