ARTICLE SUMMARY

Should Gordon Brown step down now?

BELEAGUERED Gordon Brown was humiliated yesterday as a key Labour figure described him as “a liar” and said Tony Blair believed the PM would lose the election.

GORDAN BROWN TIME IS UP

09.05.08, 5:25pm

Gordan Brown retained high office purely and simply by being bought of by Blair, who couldnt get rid of him, his long period in office had nothing to do with being good at his job, as history will show, he has been an utter disaster, able to look good in his early years, only because he inherited a massive surplus from the Conservative Party, this was squandered very early on, he then had to resort to unprecedented tax increases to maintain his mania for pooring our money down the drain.
Another "long serving" person in high office was 2 JAGS, the same applies to him, Blair was unable to do the decent thing with this person either, to be a bit fair in this case he has done the right thing, lets hope GB does the same and soon.

"The party's tally of councillors has reached a psychological barrier of 100 - but a deeper look at the nationwide results reveals that there can be a world of difference between a point of importance for a small party and a genuine gathering of electoral steam.

In fact, those councillors represent less than 1% of all those elected in the UK and gains on the night, beyond the headline-grabbing result in London, were short of some expectations. "

wow, so your beener pals now have less than 1% of the council seats in the uk!?

well, that is very imporessive stuff indeed. you guys sure are a major force... less than 1%!

why is Treehugger wrong. He will be aware of the system . But why should a PM without a single english vote have charge of England legislation. More so as he was never elected by anyway as PM. By the way I am Scottish also !

Treehugger what a ridiculous comment to have made, they are the PM of the UK. Obviously you are not very well up on the system, never mind.

02.05.08, 8:08pm

He should but he won't there should be a new law that no Scotsman can be PM of England any more and Scottish MP's not allowed to vote on English matters

BYE BYE GORDON BROWN, TIME TO GO

02.05.08, 5:33pm


After yesterdays terrible drubbing in the local elections and if, as it seems, Ken gets kicked out by Bonkers Boris, then surely even if Gordon is to blind to see and too deaf to hear, his MPs arn't.

I notice that all his Ministers are saying "Gordon is the best man for the job, we are loyal to him" smacks to me as a hint that the knives are being sharpened in the Westminster back rooms.

Beware the Ides of May Mr Brown.

I'M HAPPY

02.05.08, 2:17pm

with the "dissapointing" showing by the beeners (who were apparently supposed to take over the world yesterday...)

once again, a whole lotta nothing.

i personally don't care how well labour did or did not do. everyone knew the conservatives were going to do well. it was inevitable.

i'm just happy that right wing fascists have once again not lived up to their own expectations and have been shown to be the strange minority that they are.

Please don't be too hard on our two members of the fascist left for the next couple of days. With the mauling Nulab have just received from the electorate,and the demise of their standard bearer Red Ken, they will be in mourning.
They might need to take a two week break in North Korea, to get over their grief.

you really don't get it do you?

there is 'raw data' (i.e., data that is collected)

then there are 'statistics' (the presentation of that raw data, which are open to manipulation).

the raw data is there. and it says what it says.

go to the source.

and you seem to remember that newspapers like this are just as (and actually more) likely to manipulate statistics than the government. and yet you believe them hook, line and sinker.

i say again, go to the source... be a thinker, seek the truth.
