The British media billed it as a showdown between Sarah Brown, wife of Prime Minister Gordon Brown, and Samantha Cameron, wife of Conservatives’ Leader David Cameron, but it became a three-horse race as the rise and rise of the Liberal Democrats meant their leader’s wife, Miriam González Durántez, suddenly found herself the subject of intense scrutiny. The three women all spoke to UK Grazia in this week’s issue which has hit news stands just before the poll. As Gordon Brown faces renewed pressure after describing a Labour voter as a “bigoted woman” and one of his own candidates labelling him “the worst Prime Minister we have had in this country”, Sarah Brown has become increasingly important to her husband’s chances of reelection. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Lis Davies) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/the-Problems-for-the-first-wives-club-in-the-uk-election/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/the-Problems-for-the-first-wives-club-in-the-uk-election/#item3008 Wed, 05 May 2010 19:35:45 +0000 Lis Davies | Author bios | The Punch
