Gordon Brown is upping the tempo of his campaign


Former British Premier Gordon Brown has said that he is "upping the tempo" of his campaign for re-election. Recent survey suggests signs that Labour could be beaten back into third place in the May 6 election. The Prime Minister admitted that his popularity declined during the debate however he denied that he was tearing up his strategy with less than two weeks to go until polling day. But he said: "As you get nearer to election day you are always upping the tempo. Aides said he would be engaging more with ordinary members of the public, including more question and answer sessions with people who are not Labour Party members. The move appears to acknowledge criticism that the Prime Minister's contact with the public has been limited, his focus being on gatherings with mostly Labour sympathizers.
