Should Gordon Brown resign as Prime Minister?

Question

As scandal after scandal afflict Brown`s government, how much longer can he hold on before Labour MPs decide Gordon is damaging their electoral health?

Eatmy sho: How dare you try and suggest that the problems with Northern Rock were caused by the peole withdrawing their money. The problems with that bank were caused by poor regulation of the way the bank was conducting their business. As the Chancellor Gordon Brown would have been aware of the road that Northern rock had set off down under. Gowdon Brown was also responsible as Chancellor for the way that Revenue and Customs went about their internal procedures. Foe them to lose all that data on Britain`s Populace is unforgivable.
Gordon Brown has signed Britain up to the R+European Constitution and yet refuses to allow the people of Britain a vote on this constitution.
Gordon Brown is still charging ahead with ID cards. A measure which is not needed in Britain and will succeed in creating a Police state with in Britain.
Since Brown came to Government he has brought in many hidden taxes that increase the gap between rich and poor in Britain.

Yes but Gordon brown as Chancellor knew that the Northern Rock was allowing people to borrow money on dodgy mortgages. His governement instead of allowing the bank to go bust then gave it unlimited protection from liquidation. Now we find out that the shareholders, who should get nothing, are ahead of the governement in the list of people to get their money back.
Regarding the tax increases. Brown has increased and increased taxes in this country since coming to power. 3p was added to petrol in September, for what? For more money in the governemnet coffers. Meantime for all people in the real world in the UK. travelling to work is dearer, bread is dearer, butter is dearer, fruit and veg in the shops is dearer because Gordon Brown taxes the motorist to the hilt yet allows pollution spewing aircraft to get tax free fuel.

Answer 1

He was the worst Chancellor we have ever had, with the possible exception of Norman Lamont. A lot of the problems we have now arose because of his financial policies. But I don't know who could take over. Is he the best of a bad lot? I do think Tony left him with the legacy from hell. As with all these self-important politicians, they all have inflated ideas of their own abilities. Hopefully, at the next election, voters will see sense, and judge with their feet.

Answer 2

Regardless of the Labour party's amusing antics now, how ever did they get re-elected last time anyway??
Things have been going wrong with Labour for years...
Spin (Bull s**t), Illegal war in Iraq, incompetence, disease free NHS hospitals...

As they got in last time why should he worry about a General Election if he called one now. Remember they moved the boundaries of constituencies when they got elected originally so they would be re-elected again no matter how bad the country was run.

Now-a-days honour is a rare thing, especially in politics. In the old days Mr Brown would have done the decent thing and resigned, but in today's society it is a 'blame some-one else' culture from the bottom to the top.

Do the decent thing Mr Brown and put your hands up, say you f**ked up big time and step down.

Your party and how they behave and conduct business is ultimately your responsibility as their leader, and as such you are responsible.

If these clowns weren't running our country it would be funny.

Answer 3

He hasn't personally put a foot wrong.

Did Gordon tell people to withdraw cash from Northern Rock en-masse? No.

Did he personally handle party finances? I would have hoped he had more important things to do, leaving that to the man who resigned.

SARCH - confidence votes dont work against goverments with a 66 seat majority, it is pointless.

Now, do you remember mass unemployment and economic incompetence in the Tory years, or do you just not recognise a good thing when you see it?

SCROOGE, no one has ever elected a PM, except his own constituents. Neither Blair nor Brown were on my ballot paper.

Then again, I didn't vote for Major in 1990.

But it WAS the investors withdrawing cash. That is what a "run" on a bank is! But it is a private company. If it wants to lend people 125% mortgages and 6 times salary multiples, that is nothing to do with the government is it?

I know, let's get the Tories back in. They were better entertainment value. They had MPs commit suicide in freaky solo acts involving tights and oranges, and never charged a penny in tax. They didn't increase taxes 22 times from 1992 to 1997, it was all in my imagination. And there were no foreigners before 1997, right? Get real, please.

The only thing I do agree with you on is ID cards.

Answer 4

They all should resign, they have no idea of real life they are all out for them self, all liars and very good at twisting the truth, scam after scam, they all think the British public are thick and maybe we are as we let them get away with it, we need normal British people in the government, who actually know what really goes on in this country, and how each class of society suffer under this government

Answer 5

Think twice about voting for Cameron unless you are VERY rich. Gordon's alright, just not much of a show pony......no bad thing.

Answer 6

Yes but he won't. He is forcing us to put up with him for the next 2 years even though we didn't elect him.

Answer 7

Yes he should, and I seriously can't understand why there hasn't been a vote of no confidence in this government...it's way overdue.

Answer 8

this moron has aged about 10 years in 3 months hopefully his wife will give him a bit of advice

Answer 9

Yes, Yes & Yes again

Answer 10

Yes but he won't he will wait till 2010.
