Growth of 0.1% coincidentally same as Labour's chance of winning election

Experts say that the 0.1% growth in the final three months of 2009 is precisely the same chance that Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling (pictured) have of winning the general election this year. Some commentators have however advised further caution in the months ahead, saying that the chances of Labour victory may well be actually far lower than the headline figure. The Labour party recession began in the first quarter of 2003, and is the longest on record.
