No. The Labour Party won the last election and with it the right to choose when to call the next election (anything up to 2009 I believe).
If people voted for Tony Blair but dislike Gordon Brown, well, it's simply tough. They voted for Labour, not for the Prime Minister.
If people are just annoyed with Labour in general then their chances of having another election called any time soon are slim to none. Gordon Brown will need adequate time to settle in as leader before any sort of election is called; I estimate at least a year. Unless the government lose a vote of no confidence in the near future (which isn't going to happen by the way) there will be no election until 2008 at the earliest.
This is the way that government has always been dealt with; Margaret Thatcher resigned office in November 1990 and the next General Election was not called until April 1992. During that time John Major served as the Prime Minister just as Gordon Brown (probably) will do.

the country is a multitude. the only factor New Labour have been given suited is the economic device and a few argue that they've been merely in the main superb place on the main superb time. the excellent international is booming so i'm undecided the economic device may be worse with absolutely everyone else in ability. Blair merely desires to dangle on as lengthy as he can in the wish that the money/Honours factor blows over and he's not the 1st PM to bypass away no. 10 in handcuffs. He had to bypass away a legacy yet all absolutely everyone will undergo in strategies is Iraq. He cocked it suited up did no longer he.

Yes. The people decide who the Prime Minister is by vote. When Brown takes over from Blair he won't be the elected Prime Minister, only the one chosen by his party which I don't think is right. Labour would lose the next election anyway so Brown wont be in power for long, I pray!

Why? It's not a constitutional requirement in the UK. Major, Callaghan and Churchill, amongst others, all became PM without a General election.
Anyway, governing parties are always at their least popular in the polls mid-term, so an election now might let the Tories in. And we don't want them wrecking all the good work that Labour has done over the last 10 years do we? (allowing for all the good work the Tories now agree with of course!)

Yes, Gordon Brown, nor any other Labour politician has a mandate to form a government.
The idea that a pickpocket could be PM is frightening.
