Some People Think Everything is About the Election

Some situations are just irrelevant, don't force them into an election.

From the BBC election live text:
"Gordon Brown might hope to get some benefit from the volcanic ash situation, says the BBC's Carole Walker. In his first few months in office he dealt with the threat of terrorism and the chaos caused by flooding, and his handling of both appeared to go down well with the public. They seem to like how copes with a crisis."

There is a lot going into a voters mind on May 6th, but "I can only trust Gordon to protect us from volcanic ash" is not going to be one of them.
