2010.

"Labour is planning to delay the Westminster election to the last possible months, according to its leader at Holyrood. Wendy Alexander has let slip that the party machine is gearing up to fight the election in 2010, when the five-year maximum term is up."

So has Wendy let the cat out of the proverbial bag, or is she simply stating the obvious, or is she laying a false trail? Mr Smith suspects it is more likely to be the last one rather than the other two.
