Do people want Gordon Brown as their next Prime Minister or who would they prefer ?

Answer 1

I would like Gordon the Gopher and Phil Scofield to be the new prime minister and instead of moving into number 10, have all the press conferences from the Broom Cupboard...I'm sure Gordon the Gopher will make less of an a r s e job of it than anyone else!! VOTE GG

Answer 2

No, I do not! I cannot,of course, speak for others. It is generally assumed that Gordon Brown will be the shoo-in Prime Minister when Tony Blair steps down. The British people will not get a say in this, it will be a bloodless coup and Brown will just step in and take control of our lives. There will be a leadership contest but with a lack of any discernable talent or able-minded competition on the Labour Front Bench it is difficult envisage anything but a Brown succession.
The choices of the next Prime Minister are very limited within the three main parties. I personally think its time we had a complete change,so when the next election comes around,I will vote UKIP or other.
But just why should Gordon Brown succeed Blair? It is bad enough that Brown is part of a UK Executive that exercises complete control over England when he himself is democratically unaccountable to the English people over vast swathes of Government policy, but when he becomes Prime Minister he will head up a UK Executive that effectively makes England a Scottish electoral dictatorship.!!!!!!!!!
Gordon Brown has no mandate from the UK electorate on all matters that have been devolved to Scotland.!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

No not especially, we may not be able to prove TB lied about Iraq, but there is plenty of evidence that Brown has been cooking the books to create a false image of an economy under control. Inflation fiddled by removing house prices is one example. The use of foreign nationals as under paid labour to prop up a collapsing NHS is another. Quite apart from the sneaky use of PFI funding of Schools and Hospitals with payments kept off the national debt because they do not yet fall in the due for payment zone created to disguise the extent of there existence. Plus stealth taxes on the low paid rising faster than their benefits and their wages combined.

The next 2 years will see rising unemployment, new taxes and increases in established ones. Rising interest rates until the year he chooses to go to the polls(so at least 2 more increases in 2007) The BOE is not so independent it can't be manoeuvred.

When the real costs of energy, water and the wars we are fighting are revealed to the people over the next decade you will be lucky to retire at 70, but future generations will be required to work until the day they die.

None of the 3 main parties has any qualities or characters able to steer this once great country to safety as we slide into WW 3
led by an American administration ruled by blood lust and fuelled by hatred.

Answer 4

No they do not, but this is the Labour Government's idea of democracy. He is being imposed on us and we are being fed the idea that he will be of some use ,which of course is utter rubbish. look at the mess the economy is in after his tenure in office. No one should be given that position unless the people have been given the opportunity to vote. Parliament should be dissolved and an election held so that if the people want Gordon Brown they can vote for his party.

Answer 5

I would be quite happy with GB as the next Prime Minister.

As for those who say it's non-democratic it's no different to when the Tories kicked out that witch Thatcher and went for John Major.

Answer 6

The public do not want GB but he may be forced upon us undemocratically mid term, but as soon as there is an election he will be out.
He just does not have the look or charisma for the job and is tainted by the B-liar years.
Lets have a campaign and see who is out there with a bit of integrity and charisma and not just another political party hack or a clone of B-liar.

Answer 7

DEFINITELY not, I would really be cheesed off if Gordon Brown became the next PM. However, I don't know who else I would prefer, but I do think that anyone else would be a better choice.

Answer 8

Not really, i still think that if gb wants to be leader of the labour party, he should be the leader of the scottish labour party, the scots wouldnt accept an englishman as their leader, i dont see why it should be any different in westminster....

although, i think this is a moot point, as even if he wins the leadership, he wont be pm for long as i think the tories will get in at the next election...

Answer 9

I would prefer a general election, something like this happened in the 70's which lead to a total breakdown. This lead to a re-election and Mrs Thatcher becomming PM.

Answer 10

I think Brown should be given his chance. He has kept the economy stable for the last decade so deserves a chance with the country. The only real alternative is David Cameron who I think is more about image over content. We have already had that with blair and look where is has got us.

Good luck to Brown.
