Who was the better prime minister, Tony Blair or Gordon Brown?
Personally I prefer Tony Blair because he was more of a character, Gordon Brown seems a bit monotonous and miserable. He made a couple of mistakes (Iraq war anyone?) but on the whole I think he did a good job, the country was in pretty good condition when he left. People slate politicians all the time, so I don't think he got the recognition he deserved. Gordon Brown doesn't want to seem to do anything mildly interesting, he seems to keep his head down a lot.
