No. He's a sly old dog and not to be trusted! If he IS behind the plot to oust Tony Blair,I would not trust him one little bit!!If he cannot be "loyal" to his leader,will he be loyal to the country or the electorate? I think not! It would be better if they ALL went.!!!!! THAT poses yet another dilemma!!

I think he's probably basically a decent man and not reliant on spin in the way Mr. Blair is. However his coping mechanism, while being strung along waiting for the PM to pass the ball, has been passive aggression and that's not an indication of maturity, so I'm afraid I agree.

No! He will be a weak leader, more concerned about polls and public opinion than getting on with the job. Also I don;t like many of the things he has implemented here and would hate to see more of same.
If he gets to be PM only because Blair has been pushed out, he won't make it through the next election.

I loathe the man almost as much as I do Blair. He's distinctly unpleasant. I know someone in government (a former civil servant) and I'm told Brown is decidedly odd and very, very tetchy.
I think his reign as PM would be short, and expect and hope New Labour will be defeated at the next election. (By the way, I'm not big on the Tories or Liberals either, they've all lost their way.)

F*** off. Anyone who wants that tw@t in charge of the country is living in flower-fairy land. He's dangerously far to the left of Chairman Mao, and, true to his socialist (I hate that word) roots, would make everybody equal in this country - equally as poor. His obsession with taxation is like Robin Hood in reverse; robbing the poor to keep the rich in clover. That is the very antithesis of what Labour is all about. He's typical of "New Labour" in my opinion - a champagne socialist hypocrite. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. This government is probably the most corrupt we have ever had the lamentable mischance to have in power. GET RID OF THOSE GREEDY FAT PIGGY BASTARDS NOW.

Anyone's got to be better than Blair. I don't know who else at that level would be up to the job. And I'm not desperate enough to vote Tory. British politics really needs a good kick up the ****.
And btw, what's wrong with a Scottish PM??? Don't understand that attitude.

Strange, isn't it?
Our chancellor's degree is in history, thus eminently qualifying him to run our finances. The Pm is a lawyer and the deputy pm failed his eleven-plus. But it doesn't really matter, because we have George Bush to make all our decisions for us. He has an IQ of 69. A German Shepherd dog has an IQ of 60, bur you never see any of them in the cabinet - are the current incumbents threatened?

No, not at all,personally,I find the man very untrustworthy, as much so as Blair,there is something smarmy about that smirking grin of his.No I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him.
