Having said yesterday that Labour needs to seriously up its game if it wants to woo the Liberal Democrats, Gordon Brown most certainly did that. It’s clear also that many in the Labour Party are willing to consider a major offer that would include very substantial electoral reform. Many, but by no means all – which brings us to the irony of the situation.

Although Labour campaigned in many areas on the claim “Vote Lib Dem, get Cameron”, many in Labour are now willing to make it a case of “Vote Labour, get Cameron”. They are willing to see Cameron in Number 10 rather than do a deal with the Liberal Democrats.

Interesting times… (and times which many, though not all, pro-electoral electoral reform campaigners seem to be flunking by having decided to fall silent when it comes to putting pressure on Labour).

UPDATE: In fairness on the last point should add that it’s now been pointed out to me that there will be more campaigning aimed at Labour coming soon.
