Would you vote for Gordon Brown if there was to be an election for a new prime minister?

Question

Does Gordon have the nation's backing?

Answer 1

no would rather see blair stay in control

Answer 2

NO
NEVER - hate Labour

Would rather have Joseph Stalin (to whom he has been compared) than that Scottish **** who thinks he can pull the wool over the whole of the UK's eyes and has a strategy of achieving his aims through stealth.

I think that if it weren't for Tony and Gord's pact - back when New Labour wasn't a washed up disgrace - promising Gord the leadership, I don't think that there is any way on earth that the Labour Party would select him as Prime Minister. Putting an unpopular, two faced, manipulative control freak like Brown in charge will prove to be the biggest mistake that Labour have made since giving the reins to Neil Kinnock. You watch, the next election will be a repeat of the 1992 general election, when Labour (under Kinnock) lost the unlosable election to John Major. If Labour can't turn this around and find a better leader before the next election, I really believe that there will be a Conservative landslide, similar to the one that Labour enjoyed in 1997.

By the way, what are those two guys, Chaun and Tobby above going on about - if you Yanks have nothing relevant to say, don't answer the f***ing question.

Answer 3

Asking the question: "Would you vote for Gordon Brown ....." shows a lack of understanding of the British electoral system. The only electors who can vote for Gordon Brown are those who live in his constituency.

I might vote for him, if I lived in his constituency. On the other hand, the Labour Party has become so right-wing that I would prefer to vote for a LibDem, a Green or a Respect candidate, if any of these were standing against him.

Answer 4

Depends on the choices. If it is a competent Chancellor who has given us 10 years of economic stability and low interest rates verses a shallow Tory toff whose only policies are to legalise cruelty to wild animals and slap a new tax on going on holiday then I'll go for Brown.

God help us if the Tories get their mits on the economy again - negative equity anyone?

Answer 5

I have not decided. I don't particularly like Gordon Brown and the nonsense with the budget didn't do anything to make me feel any better about his manipulative style.
However, he is not the whole party and I am trying to look beyond personalities to understand the true aims of the various party's
When I was younger I voted purely on self interest, during the last 15 years I have become less and less satisfied with our political system. I wont bore you with details here.

Just to answer your question

Undecided, but it wont be based on Brown.

Answer 6

I would never vote for Brown as his fingerprints are all over everything Bliar has done including sending our troops to Iraq and Afghanistan. He is morally dishonest like most of his fellow politicians. Now that his give way Budget has been revealed as just another con trick who could trust him?.

Answer 7

Def no, however I now think that they are all as bad as each other. It seems to me that they are all so desperate to go in to number 10 that they will say anything that they think will get them any points but not really give a toss about the people that put them there. I think that they are getting more and more like spoilt children daily.

Answer 8

I probably wouldn't as I'd more likely vote Green but I think it's split whether he's got the nations backing.

Answer 9

NO. Despise the man that plays prudence with ones intellect. Hate the man for crippling me mentally and financially. People who bamboozle the ordinary folk with gimmicky-politics has no place in British society.
The British test!. Let him stand against the Scots in his own back yard!.

Answer 10

No. I don't think he is that bad but just can't vote labour after the last year or two.

Answer 11

Not bloody likely, i would rather vote for a dead pig, actually that could be a yes!
