Gordon Brown to stand down?

[Clowgon]

Your 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

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.

I totally agree with you there. Gordon Brown borrowed money from the IMF when we never nescesarily needed it. The biggest blow where Labour have gone wrong is not saving in the good times for the bad times.

everytime I see him.
