Howard: "Only economic slump can save Tories"
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4299490.stm

Departing Tory leader Michael Howard said he believes only an economic slump can return the Conservatives to power.

Mr Howard said the state of the economy was central to overthrowing Labour at the next general election.

In an interview in the Daily Telegraph, Mr Howard said it was hard for the opposition to win when people were 'relatively content'.

----------

Remember when the Conservative government used to slam Labour for "talking the country down"?
