No. Yesterday before the Commons liaison committee he said, "You cannot make decisions and assume that people will simply follow them. Most decisions can only be successful if people are part of the process."
Straight after that meeting he flew to Lisbon to sign the EU Constitution against the wishes of the British people. The man is a hypocrite. A liar. A coward. A traitor. And the sooner we get an election to get him out, the better!

I don't live in his constituency, so I don't have the opportunity.
Will I vote Labour? I don't know. I have many times in the past, but like many, many others I don't feel that I got what I voted for in 1997. If I do end up voting Labour, it will be a negative vote - a vote to prevent someone worse winning in my constituency, not an endorsement of the Blair / Brown government. Whatever happens, I will vote.
I have to take issue with Redmonk:
"A large number of (Labour) MP's and councillors involved in sex with under-aged boys and girls" is an accusation I think should be backed up with evidence and names, or retracted. I and others have many times made accusations against BNP members backed up with names.
So Redmonk, put up or shut up.
I do agree with Redmonk on the need for a referendum. I don't think referendums make for good government or decisions, but one was promised and that promise should be kept. If the treaty is different from the constitution Brown's government should explain how, and then endorse it with the promised referendum. The excuses made are lame and mealy-mouthed.

I include myself in amongst those that say NEVER, my father [a constantly on strike Ford worker] could not convince me that this was the right way to go, and neither will this lack lustre gang.
I have heard the expression"the green wellie brigade" from various Labour MP's referring to those of a different social background,a pointer that the politics of envy is still deeply rooted in this Government. This is not the way forward,convince the nation that the money that is being taken in taxes is being managed by competent men and women, that our services are sourced such that a minor crisis does not cause the system to go into overdrive,that our Armed Forces to whom we should all be so deeply indebted are always equipped for the job that they are being asked to do[before the newspapers shame them into it].That health and Education are paramount, that young and the old are treated in a way that befits a wealthy country. If all of this is beyond Mr. Brown and his inexperienced no hopers, then its TIME TO GO.

I'm told that he is a good constituency MP. On that basis I might be tempted to vote for him. As a Prime Minister he leaves a lot to be desired.
Personally I think its a classic case of someone being promoted beyond their ability. I get the impression that he is, psychologically, a follower and not a leader.

Only Gordon Browns constituents are able to vote for him
We do not and have never voted for a prime minister in this country and if you think you have been you are mistaken.

I will be voting for the candidate to represent me, in parliment. Then they will decide who, runs their party and maybe the country. But it is not 1 single person that run the country, it is a parliment headed by the prime minster.
In America, they vote for the 1 person to be president. This country you vote for a party.

No and I suspect that most of those within the Labour Party that went along with his appointment would not vote for him now if they had another shot at it.

Gordon Brown wasn't elected Prime Minister by the public and he will be kicked out by them as soon as they get the chance. He will suffer in an election and he knows it, that's why he won't call one.

Nobody other than his constituants will get the chance to vote for him, so unless you live in Kirkcaldy or Cowdenbeath it's a completely irrelevant question.
If I did live in Kirkcaldy or Cowdenbeath, I might consider voting for him if he scrapped the abominable National ID card scheme. Even then, I reckon I would be more likely to vote Green though.
