Gordon Brown to stand down?

For the sake of Labour, it is a good idea. Though I don't particularly like any of the main Labour MPs because they just seem too distant compared to the ones that surrounded Tony Blair. I would vote Conservative, but they don't appear to do anything or have any ideas on what to do, their policy is to just back talk Gordon Brown with no ideas of their own.

I agree.

I hope everyone votes, don't want those racist BNP snoobs taking any seats.

If Gordon Brown was to leave who else would there be to run the country... Harriet Harman? - Please god no!

Or in the case of a election David Cameron? - only three words can be used to describe this man: Pompous, posh, Prat is that what you want running the country?

Boris Johnson is where it is at!

Now there's an idea.

I'm pretty sure that the local elections will point us in the right direction of where the general election is headed.

I should be PM!

I'm clever, heavy handed, posh, snooby, rich and most importantly of all, I've got the looks. :8

The only difference between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown is that one knew who to work the media (he had charisma) and the other didn't, they are still at the same game with their lies on everything especially the European Union manifesto promise they made together, they both ran this countries finances into the ground.

The problem with the Conservatives is that David Cameron is keeping rather quiet for right-wingers liking and that is why people have been turning to UKIP. Its a shame that Michael Howard or William Hague ran too early in Labours prime, as I think and so so most Conservative supporters that they could of been fantastic Prime Ministers for the United Kingdom.

I have also heard though that Margaret Thatcher was much quieter before her election in 1979 than she was in office and that maybe Cameron is the same, I do hope so as we're starting to face the same situation that we faced in 1979 and we need another iron leader to sort this country out, but this time he faces not only economic problems but social problems. The Conservatives must again spend a term in office sorting out the economic mess another Labour government has left behind; to be successful David Cameron has to be radical or he will fail.

Maybe if Witch Thatcher didn't sold most of our Private sector then we wouldn't be in such debt!

To be honest, leading a Country out in these difficult times is very hard, people don't seem to see that, it's not that easy getting a Country, especially like ours back on it's feet in terms of economy wise. No other man/woman would be able to get out of this difficult situation without taking huge sanctions in the process. (TAXES)

Gordon Brown is a weak man and he's at virtual breaking point. Tony Blair knew how to handle the media well.

David Cameron is all talk with no balls, he says he will do this and do that but quite frankly he'll do the quite opposite. His polices won't work in getting the economy back on it's feet and people are still scared of voting in the Conservatives to lead the Country as we all know they did a "horrific" job in the late 70's. ;)

I have nothing else to say. :8

You're absolutely right, I think it will be incredibly difficult to get out the economic situation, it is global yes but for the past 10 years when Gordon Brown was chancellor, he had us totally unprepared for it. I think this can be sorted out but it will need radical changes. The problem was that Gordon Brown began borrowing money from the IMF when the economy was doing well, when labour came to power in 97 our debt was very low, all he's done is increased it so we're in the awful situation we are now. Don't borrow when the economies doing well (Sorry Dan for stealing this but SIMPLE ECONOMICS). He got credited with the economy doing well yet it was just luck, how this man came our prime minister I don't know but in a way, I guess he's not chancellor anymore which could well be a good thing :P

The Labour party just seem to be going back to their traditional left-wing views, Tony Blair radically changed the Labour party by introducing 'New Labour' yet the current cabinet has quite a lot of old folk, including Gordon Brown who is still traditional Labour so I can't see 'new labour' lasting much longer.

Who would you guys like to see lead the Labour party instead of Brown? I want Jacqui Smith... for the luls.

I'm clueless to how you worked that one out, is that why in 1979 we had to appeal to the IMF for an emergency loan just to keep the country afloat and is that why in the 1980's the economy thanks to privatistion and smaller governments grew into one of Europes largest and most healthy economies?

You say the Conservatives did a horrific job in the late 1970's yet they weren't in power then, so to quote yourself "balls". You really do need to actually learn about the subject before you start throwing out false dates my friend.

Jordy, I love you. :P
