All the more so since there are really not many votes in this kind of thing, so it's kind of a pelasant surprise.

I do particularly like the fact he's even floating the idea of allowing protests back in Parliament Square, firstly, because obviously it's the right thing to do, and secondly 'cos it's basically calling Blair, Clarke and Reid pricks for banning them in the first instance.

Exactly. I get the sense change is in the air and there's more to come.

I think it's encouraging, I also think it's canny. Brown's first week has been all about dispelling his popular perception as an unforgiving authoritarian factionalist. Also, Labour actually lost more votes to the Liberals than the Tories (who only went up slightly on 2001) at the last election. Gestures like this will help to claw some back.
