Is the election going to be called this weekend?

The rumour mill has started. On the back of the revised 0.3% increase in GDP for 2009 Q4, it is possible that the PM will call an election for 25th March. It avoids the Iraq inquiry appearance, it avoids the budget and he could overshadow David Cameron’s speech to the Tory Spring conference this weekend.
 
If I was Gordon Brown it’s what I’d do, but can the Labour Party afford it? Look at it this way, when has Gordon Brown avoided spending money because he couldn’t afford it? Exactly.
 
Squiffy.
