Any person who wants to be prime minister should be barred from job as they are only after it out of self interest and are therefore not fit to be prime minister (note the lack of capital letters this is deliberate). The fairest way to run our (or any) country is to randomly select people who represent that counties community - but only from peopl who hold absoloutly no party membership what soever. In fast just totally ban politcal parties full stop. All politcians and political parties are as bad as each other!

Because Brown stood aside to let Blair have a free pass to be leader about 12 years ago. It was said that if Brown had been made leader, labour would have been un-electable.
True or false, the fact remains that Brown wants pay-back. Although he has no doubt wielded immense power within the party, his ultimate goal is PM, and he will be a broken man if he does not achieve his ambition.
In my opinion, he would be a disastrous PM, and would make the party un-electable again.

Payback for standing aside to let Tony Blair become the Leader of "New Labour"!He's been Chancellor for 12 years,and now wants even more control,he wants to dominate England,(as you know he's a Scot). Has a fantasy that he's electable!!! All in all,he's up himself!!!!
