Yes, it's a bad one to win

Being cynical, one could observe that Darling and Brown realised that the economy was totally f**ked BUT that if they took tough measures to put it right, they'd lose in a Blair-stylee landslide.

So they decided to print money, borrow madly, and put off the evil day till after the election, reckoning that since they were likely to lose the election anyway, when the Tories came in and started putting things right, they could shout "evil tory cuts! evil tory cuts!" and maybe get elected next time round
