he seems to be the worst anyone has ever been PM. on top of that he seems to be a traitor to his own race just so he can have power over an ineffective government.
We think he is the worst of the worst. We don't want him back and we want to leave the union. soon we will get it done, what will you do with him

Well, he's certainly having a good go at it. And it started so well after Blair's handover what with his cool handling of the floods and foot and mouth crisis. Old Gordon Broon must be wondering where it all went wrong. It's been one disaster after another since he bottled the election he would have won, and there doesn't seem to be any let-up. One has to wonder if Tony Blair had an idea this was coming, or whether he hit the Labour party self-destruct button on the way out of No.10 because I can't think any PM in history that has come under such sustained political pressure. Northern Rock, the EU referendum, losing 25 million people's records, the donor scandal, the broadside on defence funding from former defence chiefs. If that's not enough, we now have a funding scandal breaking in the Scottish Labour party, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation attacking the Government on the lack of progress over child poverty, a rolling problem in the US economy that is going to hit Britain very hard due to the levels of debt the country has run up in the ten years since Labour came to power, and then in a couple of weeks Brown will be expected to ratify the EU Constitution which will be another unpopular move. How much can one man take?
I do think though that it's still too early to write him off. One slip from the Conservatives re; their own funding could see a lot of their good work undone and would give Brown the initiative to go on the offensive. The Conservatives must also be wary of putting too much pressure on him and being seen as bullying him on a personal level, though God knows he deserves it. The public are very fickle in how they view politicians and there needs to be some breathing space imho to allow the police to get on with their investigation and let them and the resulting media feeding frenzy do their job.
I do think though that it goes to show how bad it can get when you single-handedly try to micro-manage every single aspect of Government and allow yourself to be surrounded by sycophants who are too afraid to stand up to you, and Gordon Brown only has himself to blame for that. I'll be glad to see him go, but don't think there won't be a few more twists along the way.

I don't think he's the worst PM in history. He might be the most unpopular (and with good reason) but probably not the worst - though he's got to be way down the list. I think it is not only self denial that has hurt Brown, it is a lack of redeeming legislation - what has he actually done in the last few years apart from privatise a few banks, and pass numerous laws that are aimed at helping schools/businesses improve, but have actually had little effect, or been worse than leaving things be? And, of course, having Mr. Cameron as the opposition leader has hardly helped. Unfortunately, I think the sad fact is that Brown is the best person in the Labour party to be leader - the rest of them are even worse!

Probably, and when he follows Bush into Iran (theres no doubt in my mind that he won't) it'll mark him down as worse in just 1 year than Bliar managed in 10, and we all know that Bliar is a hard act to follow.
He'll not just be known as the worst Leader in Labour Party history, but he and his Government will go down as the most inept, corrupt and incompetent in our country's history.

I agree with every word of Lord Elvis of Paisley's analysis - even though we are probably on the opposite sides of the political barricades. A thumbs up and 10 points for that man. A good, intelligent piece of political analysis - and not naive at all.

.you can argue whether or not he was a good chancellor but no way can anyone doubt that he cant make it as pm. he is a hopeless leader. he isn't helped by his inept cabinet. especially his crap foreign Secretary. i personally don't want to see the brake up of the union i think it has done Britain a lot of good and i say that as a Scot

Do you know the Prime Minister on a personal level? Most of the points you raise seem to stem from hear-say. Not unless you can point a finger at what he has personally done wrong, you must desist from pedalling accusations based on wind-blown sources. One might be inclined to deduce you have a personal grudge against the Prime minister. Perish the thought!

all the criticism of Gordon Brown has been manufactured by the right-wing media agenda for their own aims. Although personally I support Sottish Independence, I think it's wrong that the agenda for UK politics is set by a few billionaire media magnates with their own agenda.

He's a disaster, uncommunicative, uninspiring, can't see the big picture, now he's fighting with members of his own government.

As long as he goes I don't care how. He is a total flop, as is the rest of his government.
